Answer: 4 inches by 6 inches or 8 inches by 3 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is A = W*L

where L is the width and L is the lenght.

Now, the original rectangle has a measure of 8 in by 6 in.

if 8in is the lenght and 6 in is the width.

We want to divide only one of those measures in equal parts, such that when we take the product of the end results is equal to 24 in.

If we divide the lenght by half (so both parts will have the same width as this did not change), we now have that the lenght is 8in/2 = 4in and the width is 6in.

Now the area is 4in*6in = 24in, which is the area that we where looking for.

We also could cut the width in half, and get the dimensions 8 inches by 3 inches.

The two options that are the possible first step to begin to simplify the equation are (c) Multiply both sides of the equation by –2. and (d). Distribute Negative one-half over (x + 4).

<h3>How to determine which two options are the possible first step to begin to simplify the equation?</h3>

The equation is given as:

Negative one-half (x + 4) = 6

Rewrite the above equation properly

So, we have

-1/2(x + 4) = 6

A possible first step is to multiply both sides of the equation -1/2(x + 4) = 6 by -2

So, we have

x + 4 = -12

Another possible first step is to distribute the expression -1/2(x + 4) in the equation

So, we have

-1/2x - 1/2 * 4 = 6

Hence, the two options that are the possible first step to begin to simplify the equation are (c) Multiply both sides of the equation by –2. and (d). Distribute Negative one-half over (x + 4).

7. The length of a rectangle is two more than its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 36 feet. What are the dimensions (len
Reika [66]

Step-by-step explanation:

length = x + 2

width = x

x + x + (x+2) + (x+2) = 36 ft

4x + 4 = 36 ft

4x = 32 ft

x = 32 ÷ 4

x = 8 ft

dimensions = length x width

= (x+2) × x

= (8+2) × 8

= 10 ft × 8 ft
