Hello!
You can make two expressions based on what you know
2l + 2w = 52
w = l - 2
You can put w in the first equation
2l + 2(l - 2) = 52
Distribute the 2
2l + 2l - 4 = 52
Combine like terms
4l - 4 = 52
Add 4 to both sides
4l = 56
Divide both sides by 4
l = 14
We can put this into the second equation to get the width
w = 14 - 2
w = 12
The length is 14 and the width is 12
Hope this helps!
It would be option A, -413
X=7/3 and x=7/2
if you want the step-by-step then you just try to isolate x and it is pretty self-explanatory from there on. Hope this helped!
:P
Use keep, change, flip!
Ex: 1 / 3
— —
2 4
Keep the 1/2
Change the division sign to a multiplication sign
Flip the 3/4 to be 4/3
1 X 4
— —
2 3
Then, multiple and simplify as usual!
1 X 4= 4
2 X 3= 6
4 = 2
— —
6 3
The answer would be 2
—
3
Hope this helps, brainliest please! :)
