Answer: 14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangle:

Length = x
Width = x - 2

x + x + (x - 2) + (x - 2) = 52

2x + 2(x - 2) = 52

2x + 2x - 4 = 52

4x = 52 + 4

4x = 56

x = 14

Alx+b) = 4x + 10

Leokris [45]

Answer:

a=4, b=5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the given equation is

$a(x + b) = 4x + 10$

We expand the left hand side to get:

$ax + ab = 4x + 10$

If this equation must have infinitely many solutions, then

$ax = 4x \\ \implies \: a = 4$

Also we must have

$ab = 10$

Put a=4 to get:

$4b = 10$

$b = \frac{10}{4} = \frac{5}{2}$

Find three consecutive even integers whose sum is −24

labwork [276]

Answer: $-10,-8,-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be:

$x$ , $x+2$ and $x+4$ the three consecutive even integers whose sum is -24

Then, we can write this expression:

$x+(x+2)+(x+4)=-24$

Now, we must solve for "x":

$3x+6=-24\\\\3x=-24-6\\\\3x=-30\\\\x=\frac{-30}{3}\\\\x=-10$

Then you get that the others integers are:

$x+2=-10+2=-8$

$x+4=-10+4=-6$

Therefore, the three consecutive even integers whose sum is -24 are:

$-10,-8,-6$
