A rectangle with sides 15 and w has perimeter
We want this quantity to be at most 50, so it must be less than or equal to 50:
For the record, this implies that
So, the width can be at most 10.
My question is, with this type of question, are you supposed to use subtraction instead of addition? Just asking because I had a
problem where it said 5(x+7) and my answer was 5x+35 *your writing equivalent expressions* and it used addition, which is why I added the sums of 5•x plus 5•7 which was 5x and 35. But I just wanna know if I use addition or subtraction for this problem, 3y(4-2y)

Distribute to every term inside the parentheses.
Simplify with multiplication.
You can't simplify further by adding, so leave the answer as-is.
Slope intercept form: y = mx + b
mx = slope
b = y-intercept
We know the y intercept is 0, so nothing will be written there.
To find the slope of this line, we can use the slope formula.
We'll use the points (1, 0) and (3, 1) to find the slope.
Now we can just plug these values into the equation to find the slope.
1 - 0 / 3 - 1
1 / 2
The slope of the line is 1/2, or 0.5.
The slope-intercept form of this line can be written as:
y = 0.5x
