Hello,
We know that th formula for the area of a rectangle is:

Now, the problem in this excercise is that there is no restriction on the values that b and h can take, so, they can take any value provided that it meets:
for example:

But if they can only take intenger values, what we have to do is to descompose 12, and then we can analyze the possible solutions.
12 | 2
6 | 2
3 | 3
1
12= 2 *2*3
first option:
12=4*3
Answer: lenght= 4cm and width= 3cm or vice versasecond option:
12=2*6
Answer: lenght= 6cm and width= 2cm <span>
or vice versa</span>
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
-a -8b = -9 + 24 = 15
Answer:
a = Negative one-fifth
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is :

We need to find the value of a.
Subtract 2/5 from both sides.

So, the correct answer is Negative one-fifth. Hence, the correct option is (b).
Hey there :)
Before translating the sentence into mathematics, let r represent 'a number'
5 times a number = 5r
2 times that number = 2r
The difference between them = 5r - 2r
* Your equation
5r - 2r
* Solving the equation
= 5r - 2r
= 3r
Answer:
The smaller number is 22
The larger number is 30
Step-by-step explanation:
L + S = 52
L = S + 8
Set both equations equal to L.
S + 8 = -S + 52
+S +S
2S + 8 = 52
- 8 - 8
2S = 44
S = 22
To find the larger number, plug 22 in as S into the equations.
L = 30
