put in an positive number for x and check
2 - 5 = -3
5 - 2 = 3
- 2 + 5 = 3
5 + (-2) = 2
so the only different one is the first
Answer:
ok but whats the question
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a rectangle is 2(w+l)
We can find the lengths by setting the equation equal to 12.
12=2(w+l)
12÷2=(2(w+l))÷2
6=w+l
6=1+5
6=2+4
6=3+3
These are the lengths of the sides of three rectangles with a perimeter of 12 units.
You're probably wondering why the third one has two of the same number, because that's usually how the lengths of sides of squares are, not rectangles.
Well, there's this wonderful thing about the rules of shapes.
<em>Squares ARE rectangles.
</em>Because they follow the rules for a rectangle, squares are also classified as rectangles.
So, the rectangle side lengths are as follows:
1 unit by 5 units
2 units by 4 units
3 units by 3 units

Answer:
a) The cost of ribeye steak dinners is $ 16.96.
b) The cost of grilled salmon dinners is $ 23.37.
Explanation:
Let the cost for ribeye steak dinners be m and cost for grilled salmon dinners be n.
A waitress sold 10 ribeye steak dinners and 18 grilled salmon dinners, totaling $590.39 on a particular day.
So, we have
10 m + 18 n = 590.39 -------equation 1
Another day she sold 22 ribeye steak dinners and 9 grilled salmon dinners, totaling $583.49
So, we have
22 m + 9 n = 583.49 -------equation 2
equation 2 x 2
44 m + 18 n = 1166.98 -------equation 3
equation 3 - equation 1
44 m + 18 n - ( 10 m + 18 n ) = 1166.98 - 590.39
m = 16.96 $
Substituting in equation 1
22 x 16.96 + 9 n = 583.49
n = 23.37 $
a) The cost of ribeye steak dinners is $ 16.96.
b) The cost of grilled salmon dinners is $ 23.37.
