Answer:

4(x-1)units

Step-by-step explanation:

In a given rectangle, the length of the rectangle is the shorter side while its breadth is the longer side.

Since we have 2 lengths and 2 breadths in a rectangle, the perimeter of the rectangle will be 2L+2x where

L is the length(shorter side) and x is the breadth (longer side).

According to the question, the shorter side(L) is 2 units less than the longer side(x). Mathematically,

L = x-2

Substituting L = x-2 into the formula of perimeter of a rectangle we have,

P = 2(x-2) + 2x

P = 2x-4+2x

P = 4x-4

P = 4(x-1)

The perimeter of the rectangle will be 4(x-1)units

This season, Lisa's lacrosse team has won 2/3 of their home games (games played at Lisa's school), but just 2/5 of their away ga
denis23 [38]
The team has played 24 home games.
Let h be the number of home games and a be the number of away games.  The total number of games is 49; this gives ush+a=49
They won 2/3 of the home games and 2/5 of the away games; there were 26 games won.  This gives us2/3h + 2/5a = 26
In the first equation we isolate h by subtracting a from both sides:h+a-a=49-ah=49-a
Substitute this into the second equation:2/3(49-a)+2/5a = 26
Using the distributive property, we have2/3*49 - 2/3*a + 2/5a = 2698/3 - 2/3a + 2/5a = 26
Finding a common denominator to combine like terms, we have98/3 - 10/15a + 6/15a = 2698/3 - 4/15a = 26
We want to convert the whole number to thirds as well; 26 = 26*3/3 = 78/3:98/3 - 4/15a = 78/3
Subtracting 98/3 from both sides:98/3 - 4/15a - 98/3 = 78/3 - 98/3-4/15a = -20/3
Divide both sides by -4/15:a = -20/3 ÷ -4/15a = -20/3 × - 15/4 = 300/12 = 25
There were 25 away games.
This means there were 49-25 = 24 home games.
