The length of a rectangle is 2 meters less than 2 times the width. The perimeter is 20 meters. Find the width.

1 answer:

4 0

The equation you'd make would be (2x-2)+(2x-2)+x+x=20 because the length is 2 m less than the width (x). To simplify, it'd be 6x-4=20 because you combine like terms. You then move the -4 over to the 20 to make it 6x=24. The final answer is 4 meters.

Solve for the variable: -4h + 2 = 18 A. -4 B. -2 C. 1 D. 6

Anna [14]

You need to isolate the variable h.

1) Subtract both sides by 2.

-4h + 2 = 18
-4h + 2 - 2 = 18 - 2
-4h = 16

2) Divide both sides by -4 (the coefficient).
(-4h) / -4 = 16 / -4
h = -4
