We know that the perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w)

l = length

w = width

In our problem,

l = 5x

w = 5x - 4

Let's create an inequality to help us solve this problem.

2(5x + (5x - 4)) ≥ 96

Let's start off by simplifying the terms inside the parentheses.

2(10x - 4) ≥ 96

Distribute the 2

20x - 8 ≥ 96

Add 8 to both sides.

20x ≥ 104

Divide both sides by 20

x ≥ 5.2

Let's plug 5.2 into x for our length and width.

Length = 5x = 5(5.2) = 26 cm

Width = 5x - 4 = 5(5.2) - 4 = 26 - 4 = 22 cm

The smallest possible dimensions for the rectangle are, length = 26 cm and width = 22 cm

Answer:

width = 10 cm

length = 14 cm

The smallest dimension is 10 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 2(x + 4) ≥ 48

Solve for x.

2x + 2x + 8 ≥ 48

4x + 8 ≥ 48

4x ≥ 40

 x ≥ 10

Find the equation of the line that passes through (1, -1) and is parallel to
daser333 [38]

keeping in mind that parallel lines have exactly the same slope, let's check for the slope of the equation above

2x+y-3=0\implies y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-2} x+3 \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line with a slope of -2 and that passes through (1 , -1)

(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -2 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-1)}=\stackrel{m}{-2}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{1}) \\\\\\ y+1=-2x+2\implies y=-2x+1
