I believe the answer is
2 and 1/5
Answer:
-1/4 (2x - 5y)
Step-by-step explanation:
For us to factor -1/4 out of -1/2x -5/4y
We will have to multiply the values in bracket by the reciprocal of -1/4 i.e -4 as shown
-1/2x - 5/4 y
= -1/4 (-4(-1/2x) - (-4)(-5/4y))
= -1/4 (4/2 x - 20/4 y)
= -1/4 (2x - 5y)
Hence the factored expression is -1/4 (2x - 5y)
We need the rest of the question :)
Answer:
w= 6
Step-by-step explanation:
I just started by making an educated guess using the values already given. Then I inserted that into the problem to see if it worked.
L= 2w - 5
I used 6 as a random, educated guess for the value of w.
L = 2(6) - 5
L = 12-5
L = 7
Then, multiply L by 2 to account for both side lengths of the rectangle.
7(2)= 14
Subtract that value from the total perimeter to find what the width must equal.
26 - 14 = 12
Divide that answer by 2 since there are two sides for width.
12/2 = 6
I know this was kind of long, but I hope it helps! :)
My guess would be less than $25
