Ok so remember distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac so

1/2(11)(4)=1/2(3)4+1/2(8)(4)
aka

(1/2*4)(11)=(1/2*4)(3+8)(1/2*4)(3)+(1/2*4)(8)
the 1/2*4 bit was the 'a' and the 3 was b and 8 was c

The length of a rectangle is 20 meters and the width is 4 meters. What is the perimeter of the rectangle? Do not include units i
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 48 \ meters }}

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths.

A rectangle has 4 sides: 2 lengths and 2 widths, so the perimeter formula is

p= 2l+2w

The length is 20 meters and the width is 4 meters.

p= 2(20 \ m )+ 2(4 \ m )

Multiply.

p= 40 \ m + 8 \ m

Add.

p= 48 m

The perimeter of the rectangle is <u>48 meters. </u>

Find X such that: 7x + 24x = 25x
Vilka [71]

Answer:

\boxed{ x = 0}

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 24x = 25 x

31 x = 25 x

Subtracting 25x to both sides

31x - 25x = 0

6x = 0

Dividing both sides by 6

=> x = 0

Charra [1.4K]

Answer: He will need 8 gallons of paint for the other murals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 1 gallon of paint was required to create 1 mural.

Since replicates have the same dimensions, i.e same total surface area.

So, if 8 replication need to be made, the quantity of the paint required for this will be

8  x (Quantity required for 1 mural)

= 8 x 1

= 8 gallons

Hence, he will need 8 gallons of paint for the other murals.
