Answer:
the slope equals 2. otherwise known as the coefficient of x.
Answer:
Length: 40 Width: 76
Step-by-step explanation:
W is width, and L is length.
We know that the length is 36 less than the width, so L = w - 36. Two times the width plus two times the length equals the perimeter, so set up the equation for the perimeter as:
232 = 2w + 2(w-36)
Now solve for w:
232 = 2w + 2w - 72
304 = 4w
w = 76
we now know that the width is 76, so solve for the length:
L= 76-36
L = 40
12(x-3) + 18 = 4(2x-3)
12x-36+18 = 8x-12
12x -18 = 8x-12
12x-8x = -12 + 18
4x = 6
x = 6/4 or 3/2
