Answer:

7 inches and 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The length the length and width of the rectangle be l and b.

Accodrding to question,

Width, b = l-2

Perimeter, P = 24 inches

We know that,

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by :

P = 2(l+b)

24 = 2(l+l-2)

12 = 2l-2

14=2l

l = 7 inches

Width, b = 7-2 = 5 inches

Hence, the length and width of the rectangle are 7 inches and 5 inches respectively.

The point (-7,4) is reflected over the line x=-3. Then the resulting point is reflected over the line y=x. Where is the point lo
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

  (4, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the first reflection is over the vertical line x=-3, the y-coordinate remains the same. The x-coordinate of A' will make the point (-3, 4) on the line of reflection be the midpoint between A and A':

  (-3, 4) = (A +A')/2

  2(-3, 4) -A = A' = (-6-(-7), 8 -4) = (1, 4)

The reflection over the line y=x simply interchanges the two coordinate values:

  A'' = (4, 1)

Tammy bought a nightstand that was marked down 60% from an original price of $50. If she paid 10% sales tax, what was the total
AURORKA [14]

Answer: the total cost of the nightstand is $22

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of the night stand is $50. If the original price of the night stand was marked down by 60%, it means that the amount of money by which it was reduced would be

60/100 × 50 = 0.6 × 50 = 30

The new selling price would be

50 - 30 = $20

If she paid 10% sales tax,the amount of tax paid would be

10/100 × 20 = 0.1 × 20 = 2

Therefore, the total cost of the nightstand would be

20 + 2 = $22
