p = 2w + 2l              p = 42 
a = l * w                   a = 108

You want to make either the length or width variable (I chose the width variable to be by itself. It doesn't matter) by itself by:

Divide both sides by 2.
(p) ÷ 2 = (2w + 2l) ÷ 2 
               2's  cancel  out
\frac{p}{2} = w + l

Subtract both sides by either length or width depending on what variable you chose to make by itself (in this case I subtracted the length variable because I wanted the width variable by itself).
\frac{p}{2} - l = w + l - l
                 l's  cancel  out 
p/2 - l = w

a = l * w

You replace w with the equation above p/2 - l = w 
a = l( \frac{p}{2} - l)

Multiply out the L.
a = \frac{p}{2}l - l^{2}

Plug in all your numbers a = 110 and p = 42
110 = \frac{42}{2}l - l^{2}
110 = 21l - l^{2

Move everything to the left side so l^{2} would be positive (makes the equation easier when l^{2} is positive).
l^{2} - 21l + 110 = 0

Factor.
(l -10)(l-11) = 0

Make each parenthesis set equal to 0.
l-11=0     l-10=0

Add.
l = 11  l = 10

By doing this you solve for both the width and length so the answer is:
w = 11    L = 10

1.Which expressions are polynomials? Select each correct answer. Pick more then one.
madreJ [45]

If all the power of the variables are greater than or equal to zero, then the expression is a valid polynomial.

So,

1.

7x^{7}-x-5

35x^{2}

\frac{x}{5}+2

are polynomials.

2.

x^{2} -x\sqrt{2}

y

2 + s

4x^{2} +y

are all polynomials.

3.

If the degree of the polynomial is 3, then it is a cubic polynomial. If the number of terms of a polynomial is 3, then it is a trinomial.

Hence, -5x^{3}-4x+1 is a cubic trinomial.

4.

The highest power is the degree.

Hence, degree of the polynomial is 2 + 4 = 6.
