Answer:
Width = (x-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rug is given by
The length of the rug is (x+6)
We need to find the width of the rug.
The area of a rug is given by :
So, the width of the rug is (x-2). Hence, the correct option is (c).
Answer:
12, 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the smallest number n.
Let n + 2 = the larger even integer.
Let's write our equation:
"The smaller of two consecutive even integers is five more" would be +5 and "nne half of the greater" can be written as (n + 2).
n = 5 + (n + 2)
Solvew for n.
n = 5 + (n + 2)
Let's multiply each side by 2, to get rid of the fraction, .
2 (n) = 2(5 + (n + 2))
2n = 2* 5 + 2*((n + 2))
2n = 10 + (n + 2)
2n = 10 + n + 2
2n = 10 + 2 + n
2n = 12 + n Subtract n from each side.
2n - n = 12 + n - n
2n - n = 12
n = 12
Let's solve for our other integer:
n + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14
So our 2 consecutive, even integers are
12 and 14
you have to subtract because it says "less than" . 11-3 equals 8. Hope this helps! (:
3 1/2 I'm guessing this would be it
