Answer:

The correct option is C. 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have that the perimeter of a rectangle = (2·length) + (2·width)

⇒perimeter of a rectangle = [2·( x + 7)] + [2·(2x - 3)]

⇒ 32 = [2·( x + 7)] + [2·(2x - 3)] ⇒ 32 = (2x + 14) + (4x - 6)

⇒ 32 = 6x + 8 ⇒ 32 - 8 = 6x ⇒ 24= 6x ⇒ 24/6 = x ⇒ x = 4. ⇒ 3x= 12.

Solve the equation below for x.<br> сх — 4 = 7

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

x = 11/c

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation for x, we simply need to apply equation operations and isolate the x variable.

cx - 4 = 7

cx - 4 + 4 = 7 + 4

cx = 7 + 4

cx = 11

cx * (1/c) = 11 * (1/c)

x = 11 * (1/c)

x = 11/c

Cheers.

Divide x^4+3x^3-2x^2+4 by x-2 what is the correct synthetic division and quotinent

frez [133]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct divisor is 2. You change the sign of the real number without a variable when that real number is the divisor.

So - 2 becomes 2 and C and D are both incorrect.

The 0 comes between - 2 and 4 because the x term is 0x. (there isn't one).

That makes B wrong.

The answer is A
