The answer is : 5 .

Step by step solution:
Let the width of the rectangle be x.

Width : x
Length : x + 2

4x + 4 = 24
4x = 24-4
4x = 20
x= 20/4
x=5

The length of one side of a square field is represented by the expression 3-7x.

Juliette [100K]

They give us the length of side of the square which is 3-7x.

To get an expression for the perimeter that is expressed as a product we have to multiply the expression 3-7x by four since every square has four sides. This will give us an expression of 4(3-7x). We than can use the distributive property to multiply everything inside the parenthesis by 4. This will give us an expression of 12-28x.

Chris earns four times Vesna's wage v and Vesna earns $17 more than Dawn. How many dollars does Chris earn if their combined wag

guajiro [1.7K]

Call Dawn's wage x, we will have Vesna's wage = x + 17 and Chris' wage = 4x(x + 17). So we have the equation:
$x + (x + 17) + 4 \times (x + 17) = 163 \\ 2x + 17 + 4x + 68 = 163 \\ 6x = 78 \\ x = 13$
Therefore, Chris's wage:
$4 \times (13 + 17) = 120$
