Step-by-step explanation: Since the width and length are consecutive odd integers, call the width <em>x</em> and the length <em>x + 2</em>.
Now, it would be helpful to draw a picture of your rectangle
and label its parts to help you set up the equation.
Since the perimeter of the rectangle is 120 meters,
<em>x + x + (x + 2) + (x + 2) = 120</em>.
Simplifying from here we get 4x + 4 = 120.
Now subtract 4 from both sides to get 4x = 116.
Now divide both sides by 4 to get x = 29.
So the width of our rectangle is 29 meters
and the length, <em>x + 2</em>, is 31 meters,
Answer:
2c - 18x + 74/5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Distribute
</u>
2(c + 7) - 18x + 4/5
(2 * c) + (2 * 7) - 18x + 4/5
<em>2c + 14 - 18x + 4/5
</em>
<u>Step 2: Combine like terms
</u>
2c + 14 - 18x + 4/5
<em>2c - 18x + 74/5
</em>
Answer: 2c - 18x + 74/5
-151/120x -1 or 1\120 × (-151x -120)
