So my understanding from this you have to make it y = mx + b so m stands for the slope there’s different ways to find it as shown in the first picture. I’ll try to make another comment since this only lets me take one picture at a time.
Part A:
Given a square with sides 6 and x + 4. Also, given a rectangle with sides 2 and 3x + 4
The perimeter of the square is given by 4(x + 4) = 4x + 16
The area of the rectangle is given by 2(2) + 2(3x + 4) = 4 + 6x + 8 = 6x + 12
For the perimeters to be the same
4x + 16 = 6x + 12
4x - 6x = 12 - 16
-2x = -4
x = -4 / -2 = 2
The value of x that makes the <span>perimeters of the quadrilaterals the same is 2.
Part B:
The area of the square is given by

The area of the rectangle is given by 2(3x + 4) = 6x + 8
For the areas to be the same

Thus, there is no real value of x for which the area of the quadrilaterals will be the same.

Answer:
rate of exchange is -2/-2
40%=0.4
0.4+1=1.4
4.5(1.4)=6.3
The answer is $6.30
