Answer:
Rectangle A's length = 22 ft., Rectangle B's length = 44 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we know that the length of Rectangle B is twice the length of Rectangle A, we know that 2*(3x + 7) = Rectangle B's length.
We must set this equation to the dimensions already given for Rectangle B, which gives us 2(3x + 7) = 2 (5x - 3).
Using the distributive property gives us 6x + 14 = 10x - 6 and solving for x gives us x = 5.
We must plug five into the original dimensions to find that the lengths of Rectangles A and B are 22 feet and 44 feet respectively.
A. b = 3
B. b = 2
C. b = 4
D. b = 3/2
So, here I state the answer to this problem is (B)
Have a great day.
Glad to help out!
Think of 6y as
y + y + y + y + y + y
Now subtract a y from that.
y + y + y + y + y + y - y = y + y + y + y + y = 5y
