Let w and l be the length and height of the rectangle.

We know that:

\begin{cases}l = 2w-5\\2(l+w)=26\end{cases}

Substitute the first equation in the second:

2(l+w)=26 \iff l+w=13 \iff 2w-5+w=13 \iff 3w = 18 \iff w=6

Use the first equation to compute the length:

l=2\times 6 - 5 = 12-5=7

So, length = 7 cm; width = 6 cm

The model shows that there are 40 tiles which were divided into 4 per group. This results into 10 groups. That is:

\frac{40 tiles}{4} = 10 groups

Therefore, the expression modeled by the arrangement of the tiles is \frac{40}{4}

Can you please solve and explain how
PtichkaEL [24]

If we take 24 h, and think that 150 bolts are produced during 1 hour,

then during 24 hours we will get 150*24 = 3600 bolts.

So, y = 150x represent the number of bolts the machine can produce in x hours.

150 bolts/h, and y =150bolts/h *24 h = 3600 bolts

Answer is B.

You need to give us the choices. However, I will try and give you the answer.

The highest common factor is 8

8(x^2 - 3)     This is the answer I think the question expects.

8(x - √3 )(x + √3)  this is also possible
