Answer:

Width of the rectangle = 7 meters

Length of the rectangle = 12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

Perimeter of the rectangle = 38 meters

Width of the rectangle = w

Length of the rectangle = w + 5

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

38 = 2{(w + 5) + w}

38 = 2(w + 5 + w)

38 = 2(2w + 5)

38 = 4w + 10

38 - 10 = 4w

28 = 4w

w = 28/4

w = 7 meters

Width of the rectangle = w

= 7 meters

Length of the rectangle = w + 5

= 7 + 5

= 12 meters

Her money will grow quicker than Lee because the money grows by 8% annually, and then the next year 8% off of the new balance.

Lee's money will only grow by 8% from the original price.

Multiply (7x – 6)(8x +3). A. 56x 2 – 27x – 18 B. 12x 2 – 50x + 8 C. 56x 2 – 18 D. 56x 2 – 69x + 18

mestny [16]

(7x-6)(8x+3)

Use the FOIL method

F: 7x • 8x = 56x^2
O: 7x • 3 = 21x
I: -6 • 8x = -48x
L: -6 • 3 = -18

$56x^{2}+21x-48x-18$

Simplify
$56x^{2}-27x-18$

Your answer is A.
