Answer:
C. 12cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the perimeter of the rectangle is ...
P = 2(L+W)
34 = 2(n +m)
Solving for m, we get
m = 17 -n . . . . . . . divide by 2, subtract n
__
The Pythagorean theorem gives the relationship between the sides and the hypotenuse
m^2 +n^2 = (n+1)^2
(17 -n)^2 +n^2 = (n +1)^2 . . . . . . substitute for m
289 -34n +n^2 +n^2 = n^2 +2n +1 . . . . eliminate parentheses
n^2 -36n +288 = 0 . . . . . . . put in standard form
(n -12)(n -24) = 0 . . . . . . . . . factor
n = 12 . . . . . . . . . . n=24 is an extraneous solution here
The value of n is 12 cm.

the differences = 136 -17 = 119 feet
Answer: -10
Step-by-step explanation:
If you put it in an equation it would be -7x=7(x+20). You would then -7x to both sides to get -14x=140. Just divide -14 on both sides to isolate x. This equates to -10. If you put -10 back into the equation then it says that 70 is 7 times larger than 10. Which it is.
