Answer:
a = - 1, b = - 3, c = - 5, d = - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the appropriate values of x into the equation and evaluate
x = - 3 : y = - (- 3) - 4 = 3 - 4 = - 1 → a
x = - 1 : y = - (- 1) - 4 = 1 - 4 = - 3 → b
x = 1 : y = - 1 - 4 = - 5 → c
x = 2 : y = - 2 - 4 = - 6 → d

Answer:
8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Rectangles have congruent opposite side lengths. This means that if one of its longer sides were 2 1/3 feet and one of its shorter sides were 1 3/4 feet then the other longer side would also be 2 1/3 feet and the other shorter side would be 1 3/4 feet.
Therefore to find the perimeter, you would take the given side lengths and multiply them each by 2 to account for both of the congruent sides.
- 2(2 1/3) + 2(1 3/4) = perimeter of rectangle
To multiply these fractions they would have to be converted into improper fractions. Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator---keeping the denominator the same in the converted form.
Now you can multiply these fractions by 2. Multiply the numerators by 2 and keep the denominator the same.
- 2(7/3) + 2(7/4)
- 14/3 + 14/4
To add them they should have common denominators so multiply 14/3 by 4/4 and 14/4 by 3/3.
- 14/3 (4/4) = 56/12
- 14/4 (3/3) = 42/12
Add 54/12 and 42/12 together by combining the numerators and keeping the denominators the same.
You can simplify this improper fraction even more by dividing 96 by 12 since 12 is a factor of 96.
The perimeter of the rectangle is 8 feet.
Based on your problem, you only have one given. So, you can't make an equation for this because there are not limits to the equation. The only thing that you know is that the three numbers are consecutive even integers. My way of solution for this is trial-and-error. However, it's really quite easy.
For example: 42 + 46 = 88. I have to increase the numbers more to reach 136. Suppose: 82 + 86 = 168. That exceeded 136. So, it must be between 46 and 82. Suppose again: 66 + 70 = 136. Therefore, the sequence of the consecutive even integers are 66, 68, and 70.
