P=2(L+W)
P=42
42=2(L+W)
21=L+W



one side is 9 longer than other
L=9+W
subsitute

21=L+W
21=9+W+W
21=9+2W
minus 9 both sides
12=2W
divide by 2 both sides
6=W

sub back

L=9+W
L=9+6
L=15


the sides are lenght 15cm and 6cm

Which equation shows y= -1/2x+4 is in standard form?
vitfil [10]

The standard form:

Ax+By=C

We have:

y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+4      <em>multiply both sides by 2</em>

2y=-x+8      <em>add x to both sides</em>

\boxed{x+2y=8}

If p, q, r, and s are consecutive even integers such that p &lt; q &lt; r &lt; s, then how much greater is s - p than r - q ?
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Whenever you assume values, try and make them as accurate as possible i.e. I am looking for consecutive even numbers so I will assume the values to be (2n - 2), 2n and (2n + 2)

s2−r2−q2=(2n+2)2−(2n)2−(2n−2)2s2−r2−q2=(2n+2)2−(2n)2−(2n−2)2

You get: 4n (4 - n)

So the solution must have 4 as a factor, which we see all options do.

To get -20, n(4-n) must be (-5). It will happen when n = 5.

To get 0, n = 0

To get 12, n(4-n) must be 3. It will happen when n = 3

To get 16, n(4-n) must be 4. It will happen when n = 2

There is no way n(4-n) could be 2 if n is an integer so 8 is not possible.Step-by-step explanation:
