Find the dimensions of a rectangle with a perimeter of 52cm if it’s length is 4cm more than its width

Mathematics

So the perimeter(P) of a rectangle would be:
P= 2L+2W
L being the length and W being the width.
The problem says the length is 4cm more than the width, so L= 4+W.
So if we substitute L with 4+W, we get:
P= 2(4+W) + 2W
Use the Distributive Property
P= 8+2W+2W
Combine like terms
P=8+4W
Since we're given the perimeter, we could replace P with 52. So:
52=8+4W
Subtract 8 to both sides
44=4W
Divide 4 to both sides
11=W
Therefore, the width is 11cm
And since the length is 4cm more than the width, we could add 4cm to 11cm to find that the length is 15cm
Thus, the dimensions of the rectangle are 15cm by 11cm

Factor the polynomial.<br> 13x² – 20x – 12
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

(13 x + 6) (x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

13 x^2 - 20 x - 12

Factor the quadratic 13 x^2 - 20 x - 12. The coefficient of x^2 is 13 and the constant term is -12. The product of 13 and -12 is -156. The factors of -156 which sum to -20 are 6 and -26. So 13 x^2 - 20 x - 12 = 13 x^2 - 26 x + 6 x - 12 = x (13 x + 6) - 2 (13 x + 6):

x (13 x + 6) - 2 (13 x + 6)

Factor 13 x + 6 from x (13 x + 6) - 2 (13 x + 6):

Answer: (13 x + 6) (x - 2)

Well Basically, it’s kinda a struggle to understand this math your explaining:( <br> Well, 3/6 = 8/?
lord [1]
16 will go where the question mark is located

So 3/6 = 8/16

Think of it like this: if you had three slices of pizza out of 6 total, then you had half the pizza. The same goes for if you had 8 slices out of 16 total

You can use the cross multiplication rule to find x
3/6 = 8/x
3*x = 6*8
3x = 48
3x/3 = 48/3
x = 16
