7x. Try to ignore the X's for a second and think of the problem as -12+5 (aka 5-12). The answer to that is 7. now add the x back again to get: 7x
Answer:
b is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
if you look at the graph chart you will notice that b lines up with negative 4 and positive 2
Is the second paragraph meant to throw you off??? Because the answer to the question does not rely on the information based from the second paragraph...
Anyway, we know that the turtle started from (0, 0) and moved to (10, 8). Let's assume that (0, 0) is (x1, y1), and that (10, 8) is (x2, y2) for the sake of calculations.
To find how far the turtle moved to the right (along the x-axis) we take x1 from x2:
x2 - x1 = 10 - 0
= 10 = x2
***this is the "run"
To find how far the turtle moved upwards (along the y-axis) we take y1 from y2:
y2 - y1 = 8 - 0
= 8 = y2
***this is the "rise"
Notice that when something moves away from the origin the distance it traveled along the x-axis and y-axis is the same as its final position (or coordinates to where it traveled to).
Therefore, the,
slope = rise / run
= x2 / y2
= 10 / 8
= 5 / 4 (preferable for use)
= 1.25
The perimeter is (2 lengths) + (2 widths). Since the perimeter is 18 inches, (1 length) + (1 width) must add up to 9 inches.
If the length and the width must both be whole numbers, the only possible choices for the side lengths of this rectangle are:
1 x 8 in
2 x 7 in
3 x 6 in
4 x 5 in .
