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

When deriving the quadratic formula by completing the square, what expression can be added to both sides of the equation to crea
nignag [31]

The expression that would be added to both sides is (b/2a)^2

<h3>How to determine the expression?</h3>

The equation is given as:

x^2 + b/ax + __ = c/a + __

Take the coefficient of x

b/a

Divide by 2

b/2a

Square the expression

(b/2a)^2

Hence, the expression that would be added to both sides is (b/2a)^2

PLEASE HELPPP ASAPP!!<br><br> Combine and simplify the following radical expression.
Greeley [361]

After demonstrating the procedure by algebraic means, the expression (2\sqrt[3]{12} )\cdot (3\sqrt[3]{2} ) <em>is equivalent to</em> 6\cdot \sqrt[3]{24}.

In this question we proceed to <em>simplify</em> (2\sqrt[3]{12} )\cdot (3\sqrt[3]{2} ) by <em>algebraic</em> means into a <em>single</em> <em>radical</em> expression when possible, whose procedure is shown below and explained by appropriate definitions and theorems:

  1. (2\sqrt[3]{12} )\cdot (3\sqrt[3]{2} )  Given.
  2. (2\cdot 3) \cdot (\sqrt[3]{12} \cdot \sqrt[3]{2}  ) Commutative property/ Associative property.
  3. 6\cdot \sqrt[3]{24} Definition of cubic root/\sqrt[n]{a} = \sqrt[n]{b}/Result

After demonstrating the procedure by algebraic means, the expression (2\sqrt[3]{12} )\cdot (3\sqrt[3]{2} ) <em>is equivalent to</em> 6\cdot \sqrt[3]{24}.
