Ok let us assume x= the width of the table top
the length is 4 times the width meaning we are multiplying 4 and the width
which is x
length = 4x
your first equation would be the following:
4x+4x+x+x= whatever the perimeter is
if you drew a rectangle it would help you understand the above.

this represents the perimeter of the tabletop because we know the width is x. if you drew the rectangle there wouldn't be 1 width. opposite to the width is another line. same with the length. the length is 4x again there are 2 because in a rectangle there are 2 sets of parallel lines. that is why your equation would be 4x+4x+x+x= whatever the perimeter is- you could simplify this equation and write:
10x= whatever the perimeter is
x basically means 1x but in math we generally don't write that because we tend to write most things in simplest for.
hope this helps :)

A _[blank 1]_ is a number whose only factors are 1 and itself. If a number has other factors besides 1 and itself, it is called

kykrilka [37]

Numbers whose only factors are 1 and itself is known as prime numbers , numbers whose factors besides 1 and itself are composite numbers, we can use the sieve of Eratosthenes to determine whether the number is prime or composite.

Given a paragraph in which there are blanks:

A _____ is a number whose only factors are 1 and itself. If a number has factors besides 1 and itself, it is called a _____. You can use divisibility rules or _______ to help you determine whether a number is prime or composite.

We are required to fill the blank with appropriate options.

We have to fill "prime numbers" in the first blank.

We have to fill "composite numbers" in the second blank.

We have to fill "the sieve of Eratosthenes" in the third blank.

Hence numbers whose only factors are 1 and itself is known as prime numbers , numbers whose factors besides 1 and itself are composite numbers, we can use the sieve of Eratosthenes to determine whether the number is prime or composite.
