Absolute value is simply the non-negative version of the number regardless of its symbol
So for the absolute value of 20? the answer is just 20.
For reference, the absolute value of -20 is also just 20.
Hope the explanation helps :)
Area of rectangular post card = length x width
For the given post card:
length = 4 in
width = (3+b) in
area = 24 in^2
So, substituting in the equation of the area:
24 = 4 x (3+b)
24 = 12 + 4b
24 - 12 = 4b
12 = 4b
b = 3 in
Therefore:
the length of the postcard = 4 inch
the width of the postcard = b+3 = 3 + 3 = 6 inch
P=100
L=16+w
W=w
so we know that Perimeter is all the sides added so 2l+2w
so 100=(2(16+w))+(2(w))
100=32+2w+2w
100=32+4w
68=4w
w=17
so L=16+w therefore L=16+17 L=33
so L=33 and W=17
