Answer:
the constant is the number without an x attaches to it.
Ex:
y = 2x + 9
9 is a constant because it is not attached to any x
y = x^3 + 2x^2 + 10x + 19
19 is a constant because it is not attached to any x
Answer:
16x -2
Step-by-step explanation:
You know how to compute the perimeter of a rectangle of length L and width W:
P = 2(L+W)
Here, you're asked to use the given algebraic expressions for length and width and simplify the result of putting those in the perimeter formula.
P = 2((5x-2) +(3x+1))
P = 2(8x -1)
P = 16x -2 . . . the perimeter of the rectangle
Interesting question about feet and inches. The best way to solve this problem is to ask yourself how many inches are in a foot. Since there are 12 inches in every foot then the length of 2'8" can be written as (2*12)" + 8". Which is 24+8 or 32 inches. The second number (1'6") can be written as (1*12)"+6" which is 18 inches. 32 + 18 = 50 inches. Or, if you want to change this back into feet and inches just divide it by 12. 50/12 is 4 R. 2. So 4'2".
