To answer this you will need to determine which area made with the 12 square tiles would give the shortest perimeter.

Think of all the combinations to get 12 square inches
1x12, 2x6, and 3x4. The perimeters of these are 26 in, 16 in, and 14 in.

You should arrange your tiles using the 3 x 4 option. You would need 14 stones.

The table can be used to determine the solution of equations, 2x − 2y = 6 and 4x + 4y = 28. Which solution can be used to fill i
notsponge [240]

Answer: (5,2)


Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations: 2x-2y=6......(1)\\4x+4y=28.......(2)

Divide 2 on both sides of equation (1) and 4 on the both sides of equation (2), we get

x-y=3......(3)\\x+y=7.......(4)

Adding equation (3) and (4), we get

2x=10\\\Rightarrow\ x=5

Substitute x=5 in equation (4), we get

y=7-5=2

Hence, the solution of the both equations is (5,2).

<em>Translate into an algebraic equation:-</em>

<em>The quotient of a number and 5.</em>

<em />

<em />\dashrightarrow\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}

✳︎ First, the word "quotient" indicates that we divide.

Here, we have the quotient of a number and 5, so we divide the number by 5; let the number be d.

So the quotient of d and 5 looks as follows:-

\bold{\dfrac{f}{5}}

<h3>Good luck with your studies.</h3>
