Answer: 8
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for the perimeter first figure out the length and width from the formula of area for the rectangle
A = LxW
A = (14-X)•X
L = (14-X)
W = X
P = 2L + 2W
P = 2(14-X) + 2(X)
P = 28 - 2X + 2X
P = 28.
The perimeter of the rectangle is A. 28.
Answer:
How many miles does each member of the biking club ri
de>
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is statistical, because 1) it provides a thing for you to study (how many miles does each member ride, as well as 2) provides (hopefully) enough respondents (the members of the biking club) that it will not skew the statistics.

Let n = the unknown number
"The product of a number and 4" = 4 * n = 4n
"increased by 16" = + 16
Set it all equal to - 2.
4n + 16 = - 2
Subtract 16 from both sides to get constants on one side and variables on the other.
4n = - 2 - 16
Combine like terms:
4n = - 18
Divide both sides by 4 to isolate variable n.
n = - 18 / 4
= - 4 and 2/4 = - 4 and 1/2
