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

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is x-3y= -18 Fully simplify your answer.
qwelly [4]

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate -3y by subtracting x from both sides

-3y = -18 - x

Divide everything by -3

y = 6 + 1/3x

Slope is 1/3, and perpendicular lines have the reverse reciprocal slope, so our slope is -3

A board game that normally costs $30 is on sale for 25 percent off. What is the sale price of the game?
Roman55 [17]
25% off translates into 0.25($30) = $7.50 off.

A faster way to determine the sales price is to subtract 0.25 from 1.00 and then mult. the regular price by the result:  sales price = 0.75($30) = $22.50 (answer)

Part A. the origin is (0,0). Part B. the first point is right one and the down one and plot your point. 2nd one is left one and it is more than half so it is like a quarter of the square. the third point is, left 2 and it is less than 1/2 so it goes over a little less than 1/2.
