The perimeter is equal to 2(width) + 2(length). let's call the width w and the length L.
so 32 = 2w + 2L
the width is given as 2 meters less than the length, so w = L - 2
32 = 2(L - 2) + 2L
32 = 2L - 4 + 2L
32 = 4L - 4
36 = 4L
9 = L
so our length is 9 meters.
w = L - 2
w = 9 - 2
w = 7
so our width is 7 meters.
No, this would not be a linear function. Being linear means it creates a straight line, but this function has an x squared. Anytime x^2 is in a function, the graph is a u shape, called a parabola. A simple linear function is y=x :D
I think its "Yes it can because -3.5 lies to the left of -1.5"
Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Parentheses mean multiplication in this case. So it would be 2 x -3 OR -3 + -3. When multiplying a negative and a positive the answer will ALWAYS be negative. So you would move to the left on a number line.
