We could write the fractions as decimals.

The answer is
.004 or 4/1000.
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!)
Answer:
Tessa's mistake was to have multiplied each dimension by two instead of multiplying by a square root of two.
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared
Let
z -----> the scale factor
x ----> the area of the enlarged garden
y ----> the area of the original garden

we have that
If Tessa multiplies each dimension by 2, then the scale factor equals 2.

substitute

The area of the enlarged garden will be equal 4 times the area of the original garden
so
If Tessa wanted to have twice as much surface, she must multiply each dimension by a square root of 2.
therefore
Tessa's mistake was to have multiplied each dimension by two instead of multiplying by a square root of two
Answer:
multiply each term in one polynomial by each term in the other polynomial.
add those answers together, and simplify if needed.
