Length(l)= 2w
width(w)= w

Perimeter(P)= 2w+2l= 72 (simplify expression: divide each side by 2 )
P= w+l= 36 (plug in "2w" for "l")
P= w+(2w)= 36
P= 3w= 36 (divide each side by 3 to find the width)
w= 12 units

find length:
l=2w
l= 2(12)
l= 24 units

Answer:
The length of this rectangle is 24 units and the width is 12 units.

19 + x/2 = 4<br> How do I do this
GuDViN [60]

Answer: x = -30

Steps:  19 + x/2 = 4

Subtract 19 from both sides: 19 + x/2 - 19 = 4 - 19

Simplify: x/2 = 15

Multiply both sides by two: x/2 (2) = -15 (2)

Simplify: x = -30

Gerald has a garden in the shape of a square. The area, in square feet,
victus00 [196]

Answer:

x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the area of a square is length times width.

We also know that a quadratic can be factored:

(x - 3)²

So if each side is (x - 3), then when we do length times width, we get x² - 6x + 9. So our answer is choice D.
