Answer:

length: 23 m; width: 11 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its length and width, so that sum is 34 m. Then you can write two equations in length and width:

l + w = 34

l - w = 12

Adding these together gives you ...

2l = 46

l = 23 . . . . . . divide by 2

Then the width is

w = 23 -12 = 11

The length and width are 23 m and 11 m, respectively.

Answer:

7a. D)

7b. $78

Step-by-step explanation:

7a: We're given the information that there's a daily fee of $50 and $0.35 per mile driven, which is m. We can write "$0.35 per mile driven" as 0.35m. Then, the total amount of money it costs represented as an expression is 50 + 0.35m, thus, making it answer D).

7b: In this problem, we have to take our previous expression 50 + 0.35m, plug in the value of m, and simplify.
