Answer:

width = 6

length = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter = 2L + 2W

L = W - 2

plug in perimeter:

20 = 2L + 2W

you know the length is 2 less than the width

plug in (w - 2) for L:

20 = 2(w - 2) + 2w

solve for w:

20 = 2w - 4 + 2w

20 = 4w - 4

4w = 24

w = 6

now plug in 6 for w in either equation, whichever is easier to solve:

L = 6 - 2

L = 4

width = 6

length = 4

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The first part of the function, f(x) = -2x (for x < -1), is only graphed correctly in the first and third graphs.

The second part of the function, f(x) = -1 (for -1 ≤ x < 2) is only graphed correctly in the first graph, which also correctly graphs the third part of the function,

The appropriate choice is the first graph.

You've got 3 values there.

Get the sum of 65, 30 and 25 and divide their sum by the number of values that exist, which in this case is 3.

\frac { 65+30+25 }{ 3 } =\frac { 120 }{ 3 } =40
