<h2> <u>Rectangular</u> <u>Areas</u> <u>and</u> <u>Perimeters</u></h2>
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
In the problem we have these data:
- Length = a
- Width = -2x + 20
- Perimeter = 6 + 2 (-2x + 20)
We replace the data in the equation of the perimeter:
<h3>6 + 2 (-2x + 20) = 2 (a - 2x + 20) </h3>
We apply distributive property:
6 - 4x + 40 = 2a - 4x + 40
6 = 2a
6 ÷ 2 = a
3 = a
⇒ Length = 3
The area of the rectangle is given by:
We have these data:
- Length = 3
- Width = -2x + 20
We replace the data in the equation of the area:
<h3>Area = (3) (- 2x + 20) </h3>
We apply the distributive property and obtain:
Area = -6x + 60
<u>The expression representing the area of the rectangle will be -6x + 60</u>

That's a question about percentage.
One way to represent percentage is using decimal number. In this way, 1 is equivalent to 100% and the other less percentages using numbers between 0 and 1.
Examples:
- 90% is equivalent to 0,90.
- 5% is equivalent to 0.05. It's not 0.5 because 0.5 is equivalent to 50%.
- 13.17% is equivalent to 0.1317.
- 245% is equivalent to 2.45.
If we want to know the percentage of a number, we should multiplacate the number by the porcentage in the decimal number form.
Examples:
- 55.90% of 200 is equal to:
- 360% of 88 is equal to:
In our problem, we have a phone with a increase of 7%. To solve that, it's important to perceive that $230 is equal to 100% and with a increase of 7%, we will pay 107%.
107% in the decimal number form is 1.07. With that information, we should multiplicate 1.07 by the original value and we will find the answer.
We know that , therefore, the total cost of the phone after tax is $246.1.
