Answer:

L = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2L + 2W

you know that P = 50, W=10

So you have to replace those values on the equation

50 = 2L + 2*(10) --> Replace P and W

50 = 2L + 20 --> Multiply and now you are going to separate the unknown and the constants.

Remember that if you send a constant to the other side of the equal the sign will change to its opposite

50 - 20 = 2L --> Solve the constants

30 = 2L --> Now for the L, you have to leave it alone, so the 2 that is multiplying you have to send it to the other side of the equal but with the opposite operation, the opposite operation of multiplying is dividing, so you have:

30/2 = L

L= 15

The equation of the line through point (- 4, 0) and parallel to the y-axis is

riadik2000 [5.3K]

The gradient of y axis is zero. Since the line is parallel to y axis, its gradient is also zero. This
y=mx+c
Where m is the gradient;
y=(0)x+c
y=c
Replacing for y and x;
0=0(-4)+c
c=0

Match the reasons with the statements. GIVEN: x2 + 6x + 2x + 12 = 0 TO PROVE: x = -6 or x = -2 1. x2 + 6x + 2x + 12 = 0 Subtract

mestny [16]

Given: $x^2 + 6x + 2x + 12 = 0.$

1. Combining like terms (here terms 6x and 2x both contain x, then we can combine them):

$x^2+(6x+2x)+12=0,\\\\x^2+8x+12=0.$

2. Distributive postulate:

$x^2+8x+12=(x+6)(x+2).$

The equation is

$(x+6)(x+2)=0.$

3. Zero product postulate (zero product postulate state that if a product of two factors is equal to zero, then first factor is equal to zero or second factor is equal to zero):

$x+6=0 \text{ or } x+2=0.$
