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:

Step-by-step explanation:

4) x² - 14x + 48

We would find two numbers such that their sum or difference is -14x and their product is 48x².

The two numbers are - 6x and - 8x. Therefore,

x² - 6x - 8x + 48

x(x - 6) - 8(x - 6)

(x - 8)(x - 6)

5) 2x² + 21x - 11

We would find two numbers such that their sum or difference is 21x and their product is - 22x².

The two numbers are 22x and - x. Therefore,

2x² + 22x - x - 11

2x(x + 11) - 1(x + 11)

(2x - 1)(x + 11)

6) 5a² - 125

5 is a common factor. So we would factorize 5. It becomes

5(a² - 25)

Simplifying further, it becomes

5(a + 5)(a - 5)

Y=-3/2x+4

The slope is -3/2, since Kerry traveled three feet and only went down 2.

The y intercept is 4, since she started four feet above the origin

A system of two linear equations with two variables is shown below.
Orlov [11]
{ 3-y=2x
{ x+1/2y=3/2

{ -y=2x-3
{ 1/2y=3/2-x

{ y=-2x+3
{ y=3-2x

-2x+3=3-2x

(x,y) = (x,-2x+3)
