Answer:
s = 6, r = 8 or s = 4, r = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
2r - s = 10
2r = 10 + s
r = 5 + s/2 --(1)
rs - s^2 = 12 --(2)
sub (1) into (2):
(5 + s/2)s - s^2 = 12
5s + 0.5s^2 - s^2 = 12
-0.5s^2 + 5s - 12 = 0
s^2 - 10s + 24 = 0
(s - 6)(s - 4) = 0
therefore s = 6 or s = 4
when s = 6, r = 8 and when s = 4, r = 7

Answer:
The first student is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
With the given information there is already 4 inches on the rectangle. 13 x2 = 26. 26+4=30. For student two if the unknown number was 10 it would not work because the longest side is 3 less then the unknown number. 10-3=7. 7x2=14. 14+4= 28<30
Answer:
See below:
Step-by-step explanation:
So we know that there is a 
feet long board and that it is split into 6 pieces.
With that information, we can split it by doing the following:
1. 
We can do this because we have a board that is 0.75 feet long and we multiply it by one sixth because we want to divide a fraction and to do that we have to flip the fraction.
After doing that, we get our answer of 
This means that each piece is 
feet long.
Cheers!
