Let n = length
let n-4 = width since it is 4 meters shorter
2( n+n-4) =72 Two of the length and width added together equal the perimeter
combine like terms
2(2n -4) = 72 Now use the distributive law on the left side of the equation
4n -8 = 72 Now add 8 to both sides
4n -8 +8 = 72 +8
4n = 80 Finally divide each side by 4
n=20
so the length is 20 and the width is 4 less or 16.
Let's see if our answer works.
20 + 16 + 20 +16 =? 72
72 =72 yes, it does. Length = 20 Width = 16
When you make the product of a binomial of the kind x + a times other binomial that is of the kind x - a, you obtain another binomial (not a trinomial), so any example with that form will be a counterexample that disproves the conjecture:
(x + a) * (x - a) = x^2 - a^2
For example, (x +3) * (x - 3) = x^2 - 9. So, not always the product of two binomials is a trinomial.
5x + 2y = 7....multiply by -3
-2x + 6y = 9
----------------
-15x - 6y = -21 (result of multiplying by -3)
-2x + 6y = 9
---------------add
-17x = - 12
x = 12/17 or 0.7
5x + 2y = 7
5(12/17) + 2y = 7
60/17 + 2y = 7
2y = 7 - 60/17
2y = 119/17 - 60/17
2y = 59/17
y = 59/17 * 1/2
y = 59/34 or 1.7 when rounded <====
