Given,
Perimeter = 88 units
Base = x + 4
Height = x - 6
= > Perimeter of Rectangle = 2( base + height )
= > 88 = 2{ ( x + 4 ) + ( x - 6 ) }
= > 88 / 2 = { x + 4 + x - 6 }
= > 44 = 2x - 2
= > 46 = 2x
= > 46 / 2 = x
= > 23 = x
Therefore,
Length of base = ( x + 4 ) units = ( 23 + 4 ) units = 27 units
Length of height = ( x - 6 ) units = ( 23 - 6 ) units = 17 units

Given,
First integer = x
Second integer = x + 2
Third Integer = x + 4
Given that the sum of all integers is 36
= > ( x ) + ( x + 2 ) + ( x + 4 ) = 36
= > x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 36
= > 3x + 6 = 36
= > 3x = 30
= > ( 3x ) ÷ ( 3 ) = ( 30 ) ÷ ( 3 )
= > x = 10

Value of first integer = x = 10
Step 1: x²-15=2x
step 2: x²-2x-15=0
step 3: (x-5)(x+3)=0
step 4: x-5=0 or x+3=0
step 5: x=5 of x=-3
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
18 factors to 2, 3, 3
45 factors down to 5,3,3
Consider
.. X = {1, 2, 3, 4}, x = 4
.. Y = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, y = 5, w = 3
The elements in X or Y (X ∪ Y) are {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, n = 6.
.. n = 6 = 4 + 5 - 3
Note that if we just add x and y, we count the common elements twice. In order to just count the common elements once, we need to subtract that count from the total of x and y.
selection B is appropriate.
Multiply 2 2/4 by 5/8.
First, simplify 2 2/4 to 2 1/2.
Then, convert to improper form (5/2).
5/2 x 5/8 = 25/16
answer: 1 9/16 gallons of water
