Its A. x=4
procedure: 3*equation1 - 2*equation2 ⇒ x=4
We can set up the width a X and, from the description the length would be 3X-1. The perimeter of a rectangle is determined by 2XL + 2Xw. Plugging into the equation 2(3X-1) + 2(X) = 118. Next distribute to get 6X-2 + 2X = 118. Combine like terms to get 8X = 120. Divide by 8 to get X = 15. The width is 15. The length is 3(15)-1 or 44. 88 +30 = 118
The Distributive Property. You are distributing a to x + y.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: Choice A
y + 1 = -3(x+2)
=============================
Explanation:
Let's look through the answer choices.
Choices C and D show that the point (2,1) is on the line. But the graph does not show this. So we can rule out choices C and D.
With choice A, the slope is negative and choice B has a positive slope.
The answer must be choice A because the line is going downhill as we move from left to right.
--------------
A common method is to pick two points on the line and compute the slope using the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Once you know the slope, you would use point slope form
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
