It's actually (-9)... think of it as a hot air balloon, the positivies being balloons and the negatives being sandbags or weights.
You have 7 sandbags/weights and add 9 more sandbags/weights, causing u to go lower, therefore, *negative* 9
Hope that helped! :))
The perimeter is just the sum of all of the outside edges
So, the perimeter is (2*14)+(2*7), or 28+14, or 42
So the perimeter of figure 1, with all of the information that you have given me, is 42 units
4(2k - 3) + 1 = 8k - 11
8k - 12 + 1 = 8k - 11
8k - 11 = 8k - 11
So, these two equations equal to the same thing.
Glad I could help and gave a fantastic day!
Use an app called socratic
