rectangle has a length of 4x and a width of 4x-2. Its perimeter is 12 inchs. find the length and width

Since perimeter of any rectangle:

length + length + width + width = perimeter

2length + 2width = perimeter

2(length + width) = perimeter

Substitute what was given:

length = 4x

width = 2x-2

perimeter = 12

2(4x + 2x-2) = 12

2(6x-2) = 12

6x-2 = 6

6x = 8

x = 8/6

x = 4/3

length = 4x = 4(4/3) = 16/3 inches

width = 2x-2 = 2(4/3)-2 = 8/3 -2 = 8/3 - 6/3 = 2/3 inches

Ms. Nelson has 8 pounds of ground beef. She is making burgers that are ¼ pound each.

Answer:

she will make 32 burger patties.

One way:

8 x 4 = 32

the fraction will get reversed so it turns to 4.

Second way(basically the same as the first way):

8 divided by 1/4 = 8 x 4= 32

You just have to divide 8 by 1/4. The fraction gets reversed in divisions so it turns to 4.

How do I verify the identity: sec(t)+1/tan(t)=tan(t)/sec(t)-1

$\bf \textit{Pythagorean Identities}
\\ \quad \\
sin^2(\theta)+cos^2(\theta)=1
\\ \quad \\
1+cot^2(\theta)=csc^2(\theta)
\\ \quad \\
\boxed{1+tan^2(\theta)=sec^2(\theta)}\implies tan^2(\theta)=sec^2(\theta)-1\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{sec(x)+1}{tan(x)}=\cfrac{tan(x)}{sec(x)-1}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\$

$\bf \cfrac{sec(x)+1}{tan(x)}\cdot \cfrac{sec(x)-1}{sec(x)-1}\impliedby \textit{using the conjugate}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
recall\qquad \textit{difference of squares}
\\ \quad \\
(a-b)(a+b) = a^2-b^2\qquad \qquad 
a^2-b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
thus\qquad \cfrac{sec^2(x)-1^2}{tan(x)sec(x)-1}\implies \cfrac{sec^2(x)-1}{tan(x)sec(x)-1}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{\underline{tan^2(x)}}{\underline{tan(x)} sec(x)-1}\implies \cfrac{tan(x)}{sec(x)-1}$
