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!)

Step-by-step explanation:
The example of speed and time is a basic and appropriate example of inversely proportional. As the speed increases, the time to complete your trip will decrease
Answer:
D. There is no association because the distribution of genre preferences is the same among the grade groups
Explanation:
Based on this graph, we can conclude that there is no association between grade and genre preference, because the distribution of genre preferences is the same among the grade groups
.
We can see that the 9th and 11th graders have a slightly higher preference for fiction than the 10th and 12th graders. However, this difference is barely noticeable and doesn't affect the conclusion. Most students from every grade prefer fiction to nonfiction, so we can conclude that the genre preference is the same among the grade groups
