5 0

------------------------------------
Given information
------------------------------------
Perimeter = 53m
Length is 2.3m longer than the width

------------------------------------
Formula
------------------------------------
Perimeter = 2( length + width)

------------------------------------
Define the length and Width
------------------------------------
Let the width be x
width = x
length = x + 2.3

------------------------------------
Form equation and solve x
------------------------------------
2( x + x + 2.3) = 53
2(2x + 2.3) = 53
4x + 4.6 = 53
4x = 53 - 4.6
4x = 48.4
x = 48.4 ÷ 4
x = 12.1

------------------------------------
Find Length and Width
------------------------------------
Width = x = 12.1m
Length = x + 2.3 = 12.1 + 2.3 = 14.4m

-------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Length = 14.4m and Width = 12.1m

The final cost of skateboard will be $83.10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of skateboard = $98

Coupon = 20% off

Amount of discount = 20% of cost of skateboard

$Amount\ of\ discount=\frac{20}{100}*98\\\\Amount\ of\ discount=\frac{1960}{100}\\\\Amount\ of\ discount=\$19.6$

Cost of skateboard after discount = Cost of skateboard - Amount of discount

Cost of skateboard after discount = 98 - 19.6 = $78.4

Sales tax = 6%

Sales tax amount = 6% of discounted price

$Sales\ tax\ amount=\frac{6}{100}*78.4\\\\Sales\ tax\ amount=\frac{470.4}{100}\\\\Sales\ tax\ amount=\$4.70$

Final cost of skateboard = Discounted price + Sales tax

Final cost of skateboard = 78.40+4.70 = $83.10

The final cost of skateboard will be $83.10

(x-11)(x+9) - foil method

x times x = x squared

x times 9 = 9x

-11 times x = -11x

-11 times 9 = -99

x squared + 9x + 11x + -99
