Answer: 20.5

Form your equation. The formula for perimeter is (2l)(2w) or l + l + w + w, where l = length and w = width.
(l - 5) + (l - 5) + (l) + (l) = 72

Simplify and solve your equation.
4l - 10 = 72
4l = 82
l = 20.5

Since l = length, length = 20.5 and width = 15.5

You can check your work, too:
20.5 + 20.5 + 15.5 + 15.5 = 72

7. If x can be any number, how many solutions are there for the equation? y = 7x – 1 * A. There are two solutions because there

Hitman42 [59]

For the function y = 7x - 1, if you state that the domain(or all the numbers you can substitute in for "x") of that function is the set of all real numbers, then you can assume that there will be an infinite number of solutions for the function.

In other words, if you substitute any real number in for "x" you will find that you will get a corresponding value for "y". In fact, these "pairs" of corresponding values of x and y are called ordered pairs and represent the various solutions of the equation.
