Answer:

Length=17

Width=13

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for calculating the perimeter of a rectangle is 2(l+w)

L=length

W=width

But this value is not given specifically in the question,so we will have to interpret the question

So let solve this

Let the length of the rectangle be x

The width is 4m longer than the length,4+x

So let's solve

2(x+4+x)=60

2(2x+4)=60

4x+8=60

Substrate 8 from both sides

4x=52

Let's make x the subject of formula by dividing both sides by 4

x=13

So the width is 13

Let's calculate the length

4+x

4+13

17

Length=17

Width=13

The value of x-y is negative, and x and y are both positive. What can you conclude about the values of x
Stolb23 [73]
Well for two positive numbers subtracted to equal a negative number, the first number must have a value that is less than the second number. (Ex. 3-4= -1) In this case, you can conclude that x is less than y! (x<y)

What is 9 - (-8) = 20 and how did you get that answer?
Colt1911 [192]

Answer: No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

9-(-8)=20             given

9+8=20                the two negatives cancel out, making the eight positive

17=20                   this statement is not correct, so the answer is no solution

no solution

I'm not sure if there was supposed to be a variable in there somewhere, but I did my best to explain. Hope this helps!
