So, we know the perimeter is 24 cm. and the top part is the left part, (x) + 2, but remember, we need to have it be a number that, multiplied by 2, is 24. So, using this formula, the length, (top / bottom) is 7, and x = 5. Because 5 + 5 = 10, and when length is +2, it adds up to 14. 10 + 14 = 24. So, length is 7, width, (left, right) is 5.

Answer:
2bm + 7an
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply.
8bm - 6an - bm + 5an - 5bm + 8an
Combined like terms:
8bm - <em>6an</em> - bm + <em>5an</em> - 5bm + <em>8an</em>
= 2bm + 7an
Answer:
x = 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
15(1/2) = 7.5
7.5+6 =13.5
subtract 17 and divide by -1 to isolate x 13.5-17/-1
x = 3.5
Two negatives <em>do not </em>equal a positive when adding. If you're in debt and you add more debt, does that get you out of debt?
Two negatives <em>do </em>equal a positive when you're multiplying them together though. This makes sense if you imagine multiplication as squishing or stretching a particular number on the number line. For example, imagine multiplying 2 x 1/2 as <em>squishing </em>the number 2 two times closer to 0. When you multiply 2 by a negative number, say, -1, you squish it so far down that you <em>flip it to the negative side of the number line</em>, bringing it to -2. You can imagine a similar thing happening if you multiply a number like -4 by -2. You squish -4 down to zero, and then <em>flip it to the positive side</em> and stretch it by a factor of 2, bringing it to 8.
