Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 13 inches and its width (13 + 12) is 25 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to consider the formula of the perimeter = 2·length + 2·width.

If we call "x" to the length ⇒ width = x + 12 .

Perimeter = 2x + 2·(x + 12) ⇒ Perimeter = 2x + 2x + 24

⇒Perimeter = 4x + 24. ⇒ 76 = 4x + 24 ⇒ 76 - 24 = 4x ⇒52 = 4x

⇒ 52/4 = x ⇒ x = 13.

So, the length of the rectangle is 13 inches and its width (13 + 12) is 25 inches.

How do you solve the inequality 6y+3> -18x

Alex17521 [72]

$6y + 3 \ \textgreater \ - 18 x$

Subtract 3 from both sides:

$6 y + 3 - 3 \ \textgreater \ - 18 x - 3$

$6y \ \textgreater \ - 18 x - 3$

Dividade both sides by 6 :

$\frac{6y}{6} \ \textgreater \ \frac{-18x-3}{6}$

$y \ \textgreater \ \frac{-18x-3}{6}$

hope this helps!
