$p = 2l + 2w$
P=Perimeter
L=Length
W=Width

Hints given are P= 76, L=20 so 2L=40

76=40+2w
76-40=2w
36=2w
18=w

The formula of a perimeter of a rectangle:

P = 2(w + l)

We have P = 76 cm and l = 20 cm.

Substitute:

2(w + 20) = 76 <em>use distributive property</em>

(2)(w) + (2)(20) = 76

2w + 40 = 76 <em>subtract 40 from both sides</em>

2w = 36 <em>divide both sies by 2</em>

w = 18

<h3>Answer: the width = 18 cm</h3>

Answer:

The Y intercept doesn't exist, and the slope is undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph provided for us is a vertical line. x= 7

this means the line will go up and down forever without a slant because x will always equal 7.

Ex:

X | Y

7 | -3

7 | -2

7 | -1

7 | 0

7 | 1

7 | 2

7 | 3

<u>Solution-</u>

Bill bought a computer and a printer for a total of $650.

Let p stand for the cost of the printer, so

$\text{Cost of the computer + p} =650$

$\Rightarrow 525+p=650$

$\Rightarrow p=650-525=125$

Bonnie ordered 27 products from one company

Let m stand for the number of missing items

$\text{Number of item she got + m} =27$

$\Rightarrow 19+m=27$

$\Rightarrow m=27-19=8$

Terri bought four lipsticks for a total cost of $20

Let l stand for the cost of one lipstick.

$Price\ of\ one\ lipstick \times I=20$

$\Rightarrow 4 \times I=20$

$\Rightarrow I=5$

Each survey takes him about 10 minutes to complete

Let h stand for the number of hours

$Tota\l time\ taken\ = Time\ taken\ for\ 1\ survey\ in\ hours\times no.\ of\ survey$

$Total\ time\ taken\ =\frac{10}{60} \times 30 = 5 hours$

Andy played golf three times during his vacation. His scores were 92, 87, and 88.

Let A stands for the average.

$Average \ score=A= \frac{Score_1+Score_2+Score_3}{3} =\frac{92+87+88}{3}=89$

Tickets to a local basketball team’s games cost $12 each. Brendon and Ed each bought tickets to four games.

Total tickets = 2×4=8 (∵ They each bought 4 tickets)

(Let t stand for the amount spent on tickets.

$Amount\ spent\ on\ tickets\ =price\ of\ 1\ ticket \times total\ ticket}$

$\Rightarrow t=12 \times 8=96$
