Hi there!

We can find the perimeter of a rectangle by using the following formula:

perimeter = 2 × width + 2 × length

In the question, we are given the following data: the length of the rectangle is 12 in and the perimeter is 56. Let's substitute this into our formula!

56 = 2 × width + 2 × 12
Multiply first.

56 = 2 × width + 24
Now subtract 24 from both sides.

32 = 2 × width
And finally, to find the width of the rectangle, divide both sides of the equation by 2.

16 = width
(we can eventually switch sides in the equation).

width = 16
~ Hope this helps you!

Answer:

$\large\boxed{f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{x+4}{3}=\dfrac{1}{3}x+\dfrac{4}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=3x-4\to y=3x-4\\\\\text{exchange x to y and vice versa}\\\\x=3y-4\\\\\text{solve for y}\\\\3y-4=x\qquad\text{add 4 to both sides}\\\\3y=x+4\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\y=\dfrac{x+4}{3}$

Carly and Carter are comparing bedrooms. They are each getting new carpet and are trying to figure out which room will be the mo

Softa [21]

Answer:

Carter's bedroom would cost more to carpet than Carly's because the floor area of the former is about five square feet greater than the floor area of Carly's bedroom.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of either of these floors is found by multiplying length by width:

A = L*W.

Carly's bedroom is 15.3 ft by 8.7 ft; multiplying, we get A = 133.11 ft^2

Carter's is 14.4 ft by 9.6 ft: A = 138.24 ft^2

Carter's bedroom area (138.24 ft^2) is about 5 ft^2 larger than Carly's and would thus cost more to carpet.
