New perimeter is 4040-2424= 1616
original, let x and y be length and width
2x + 2y = 4040
new
2x/2 +2y/3 = 1616
x +2y/3 = 1616
x = 1616 - 2y/3
sub this x value into first eq
2(1616-2y/3) + 2y = 4040
3232 - 4y/3 + 2 = 4040
put like terms together
-4y/3+2y=4040-3232
2y/3=808
multiply both sides by 3
2y = 2424
divide both sides by 2
y=1212

sub this y value into any eq. i chose eq 1
2x+2(1212)= 4040
2x = 4040 - 2(1212)
2x = 1616
x = 808

so the length is 808 and the width is 1212

Of equations to answer the questions.
iren [92.7K]
2x + 3(8 - 3x) = 3
2x + 24 -9x = 3
-7x = -21
x = 3

y = 8 - 3x
y = 8 - 3(3)
y = 8-9
y = -1

Check the math:
2(3) + 3(-1) = 6 - 3 = 3

Choose the best definition for the following phrase: combining like terms (1 point)
Maksim231197 [3]

combining like terms in a polynomial is adding or subtracting together terms that have the same degree in the exponents.

example. 3x^3 + 5x^6 + 2x^3 +7x + 9x^6

= 7x + 5x^3 + 14x^6

Write an equation in slope intercept form for a line that passes through the origin with a slope of 3/2
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer: y = (3/2)x

m = 3/2 is the slope

(x1,y1) = (0,0) is the point we want the line to go through, aka the origin

Use point slope form, plug in the given values, and convert to slope intercept form

y - y1 = m(x - x1) .... point slope form

y - 0 = (3/2)*(x - 0) .... substitution

y = (3/2)x .... final answer in slope intercept form
