We know that the perimeter of a rectangle is twice the length, plus twice the width.
P = 2L + 2W
We also know that the perimeter is 156.
P = 156
Finally, we know that the width is 12 less than the length.
W = L - 12.
The next thing that we do is substitute the information that we have into the original equation:
P = 2L + 2W
156 = 2L + 2(L - 12)
From this point we start to solve
156 = 2L + 2L - 24 <---we multiplied the '2' through the parenthesis
156 + 24 = 2L + 2L - 24 + 24
180 = 2L + 2L <--- getting like terms on same sides
180 = 4L <---combining like terms
180/4 = 4L/4 <--- getting like terms on same sides
45 = L <---now we have a value for L
Now we take the known value for L and substitute it in to our equation for W
W = L - 12
W = 45 - 12
W = 33
So now we have Length = 45 and Width = 33.

Answer:
1) 2(t - 7)(t + 1)
2) $32,000
Step-by-step explanation:
v(t) = 2t² - 12t - 14
v(t) = 2(t² - 6t - 7) = 2(t - 7)(t + 1)
x = -b/2a = 6/2 = 3
y = 2(3)² - 12(3) - 14 = -32
(3, -32) means at 3 months, -32 thousand dollars
