Given,
Perimeter = 88 units
Base = x + 4
Height = x - 6
= > Perimeter of Rectangle = 2( base + height )
= > 88 = 2{ ( x + 4 ) + ( x - 6 ) }
= > 88 / 2 = { x + 4 + x - 6 }
= > 44 = 2x - 2
= > 46 = 2x
= > 46 / 2 = x
= > 23 = x
Therefore,
Length of base = ( x + 4 ) units = ( 23 + 4 ) units = 27 units
Length of height = ( x - 6 ) units = ( 23 - 6 ) units = 17 units

Given,
First integer = x
Second integer = x + 2
Third Integer = x + 4
Given that the sum of all integers is 36
= > ( x ) + ( x + 2 ) + ( x + 4 ) = 36
= > x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 36
= > 3x + 6 = 36
= > 3x = 30
= > ( 3x ) ÷ ( 3 ) = ( 30 ) ÷ ( 3 )
= > x = 10

Value of first integer = x = 10
Essentially when people ask you find the solution to system of equation, there asking at what x value do these to graphs intersect. The easiest way to do this is to get a graphing calculator, or desmos and type in the equation and find where they intersect. Heck, even the question says to solve it with a graph, but I'll demonstrate it algebraically.
One way you can do this is set the equation equal to each other. This is because you want to know at what x-value has the same y-value. So we get:
x^2 + 6x + 8 = x + 4
We can then combine like terms, or move everything to one side. So we get:
x^2 + 5x + 4 = 0.
Then we can use the quadratic formula to solve for x.
x=(-5 +/- sqrt(5^2 - 4(1)(4)))/(2(1)
This simplifies into:
(-5 +/- 3)/2
Finally we add and subtract:
(-5 + 3)/2 = x = -1
(-5 - 3)/2 = x = -4
And our solution is x = -1, x = -4
Answer:
9a+6b
Step-by-step explanation:
4a+7b+5a-b
First figure out the a's 4a + 5a = 9a
Then do b's (Remember, if there is no number by the letter then it is 1)
7b - 1b = 6b
So for this to be simplified the answer is 9a+6b
