Let's say:
lengh=x
width=y

"The length of a rectangle is 4 inches greater than the width."
That means: x=y+4 (in inches).

the parameter is (by definition) 2*lenght+2*width.

so we have 2*x+2y=24.
we also know that x=y+4

Substituting:

2*(y+4)+2y=24.
2*y+8+2y=24
4*y+8=24//substitute 8 from both sides
4*y=16//dividing both sides by 4.

y=4
So the width is 4!

The lenght is y+4=8!
the dimensions are 4 by 8.
(check: 2*4+2*8=24, correct!)

Simplify the expression, only odds 9-17
Elodia [21]

All exercises involve the same concept, so I'll show you how to do the first, then you can apply the exact same logic to all the others.

The first thing you need to know is that, when a certain quantity multiplies a parenthesis, you can distribute that number to every element in the parenthesis. This means that

a(b+c) = ab+ac

So, a is multiplying the parenthesis involving b and c, and we distributed it: a multiplies both  b and c in the final result.

Secondly, you have to know how to recognize like terms, because they are the only terms you can sum. Two terms can be summed if they have the same literal expression. So, for example, you cannot sum 3x+2y, and neither 5x^2-4x exponents count.

But you can su, for example,

5x-3x = (5-3)x = 2x

or

23xy^2z^6 - 17xy^2z^6 = 6xy^2z^6

So, take for example exercise 9:

1.2(7x-5y) - (10y-4.3x)

We distribute the 1.2 through the first parenthesis:

1.2(7x-5y) = 1.2 \cdot 7x - 1.2 \cdot 5y = 8.4x-6y

And you can distribute the negative sign through the second parenthesis (it counts as a -1 to distribute):

- (10y-4.3x) = -10y+4.3x

So, the expression becomes

8.4x-6y-10y+4.3x

Now sum like terms:

(8.4+4.3)x + (-6-10)y = 12.7x - 16y

PLEASE HELP Word problem involving average rate of change
oee [108]

Answer:

(a): 26.1

(b): 27.9

Please see below for the steps.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a):

Use points (0,0) and (3, 78.3)

Use slope formula. The slope formula is also used to find average rate of change (just so you know).

y2-y1/x2-x1

78.3-0/3-0=78.3/3=26.1

Answer for (a) is 26.1

(b):

Use points (4, 147.6) and (9, 287.1)

Use slope formula.

y2-y1/x2-x1

287.1-147.6/9-4=139.5/5=27.9

The answer for (b) is 27.9

Hope this helps!

Please mark as brainliest if correct!

Have a great day!
