The anwser is 5x-3 because you remove the parentheses and pair like terms
Answer:
- table: 14, 16, 18
- equation: P = 2n +12
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter values will be ...
rectangles . . . perimeter
1 . . . 14
2 . . . 16
3 . . . 18
__
The perimeter of a figure is twice the sum of the length and width. Here, the length is a constant 6. The width is n, the number of rectangles. So, the perimeter is ...
P = 2(6 +n) = 12 +2n
Your equation is ...
P = 2n +12 . . . . . . . . perimeter P of figure with n rectangles.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
You may be expected to write the equation using y and x for the perimeter and the number of rectangles. That would be ...
y = 2x +12 . . . . . . . . . perimeter y of figure with x rectangles
Let x = number of long sleeve shirts
Let y = number of short sleeve shirts
x + y = 200
x/2 + y/3 = 80
Now solve this pair of simultaneous equations to find x and y.
<u>Answer:</u>
$50 and $115
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
We know that,
the sum of the two rates = $165 per hour
Let x and (165 - x) represent the $/hour of the 15hr and 5hr mechanics respectively.
Then combining their charges together to get:

Solving for x to get:



So the rate charged per hour by one mechanic is $50 and for the other mechanic =
$115.
