Answer:

Option A is correct

equation 2(x+14)=42 could be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The length of a rectangle (l) is 14 inches and perimeter of rectangle is 42 inches.

Perimeter(P)of a rectangle in inches is given by:

P= (2l+w) ; where l  is the length of the rectangle and w is the width of the rectangle.

Substitute the value of  P=42 inches , w =x inches and l = 14 inches in the above formula we get;

42 = 2 \cdot (14+x)

Divide by 2 on both sides  we get;

21 = 14+x

On simplify, we get;

x = 21-14 = 7 inches

therefore, the width of the rectangle is, x = 7 inches

Check :

Substitute the value of x =7 in option A.

2(x+14) =42

2(7+14)=42

2\cdot 21 =42

42 = 42      

Hence, the only equation that could be used to find the width, x is,  2(x + 14) = 42

A. 2(x+14) = 42

(2x = 14
  x = 7

2(7) + 2(14) = 14 + 28 = 42)

The product of a binomial and trinomial is x^3+3x^2-x+2x^2+6x-2 which expression is equivalent to this product after it has been
Debora [2.8K]

Answer: First option.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the product obtained by multiplying a binomial and a trinomial is:

x^3+3x^2-x+2x^2+6x-2

Then, in order to simplify this product, it is necessary to add the like terms.

Therefore, the expression that is equivalent to this product after it has been fully simplified is:

 =x^3+(3x^2+2x^2)+(6x-x)-2\\\\=x^3+5x^2+5x-2

You can  observe that this matches with the first option.

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line <br> Y=-5/4x+8
insens350 [35]

Explanation: This is a linear equation because it's written in slope-intercept form or <em>y = mx + b</em> where the multiplier or the coefficient of the x-term represents the slope of the line and the<em> b</em> represents the constant term.

So the slope will be the coefficient of the <em>x-term</em> which means the number that is in front of the <em>x</em> which in this case is -5/4.

The y-intercept is the constant term which is +8
