Answer:
he would have to do it 6 more times
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 4 because of pemdas
m=y+7x, or m=7x+y, it is correct either way you would write it.
-- A rectangle has 4 sides.
-- Each side has the same length as the side directly across from it.
-- So there are two sides that are both the width of the rectangle,
and another two sides that are both the length of the rectangle.
-- In this particular rectangle, when you add up all four sides,
the sum is 32 feet.
-- The width of the rectangle is 9 feet. So there are two sides that are
both 9 feet. When you add those up, you have 18 feet.
-- The REST of the 32 feet belongs to the other two sides.
That much is (32 - 18) = 14 feet. That's what the other two
sides add up to when you add them.
-- The other two sides are equal. So each of them is half of 14 = 7 feet .
This rectangle, or the description of it, is slightly weird.
The length of the rectangle is shorter than the width.
But that's OK. Two sides are 9 feet, and two sides are 7 feet, and
when you add them all up, you get 32 feet, so our solution is correct.
Let them call the sides anything they want to.
