let's translate this word problem into math

the length (L) is (=) 3 less than (-3) twice the width (2*W).

L=-3+2W


we want to find the perimiter

the perimiter, P is P=2(L+W)

if we subsitute -3+2W for L from our first equation into our perimiter equation, we get

P=2(-3+2W+W)

P=2(-3+3W)

P=-6+6W

P=6W-6

so P(W)=6W-6 is the function of the perimiter in terms of the width

l = 2w-3

P = 2(l+w)

substitute in for l

P = 2(2w-3 +w)

combine like terms

P = 2(3w-3)

P = 6w-6

P(w) = 6(w-1)

Solve for x<br> Write the smaller solution first, and the larger solution second.<br> -x^2-8=-33
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

x = -5, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

-x^2-8=-33

Add 8 to each side

-x^2-8+8=-33+8

-x^2 = -25

Divide each side by -1

x^2 = 25

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(25)

x = ±5
