Answer:
-8.8
Step-by-step explanation:
We begin by simplifying the parenthesis through multiplication. Parenthesis is a structure which signals multiplication happening.

We now begin combining like terms across the equal sign by performing the inverse or doing the opposite. Move first the 8.11 by subtracting it from both sides.

Now, move 4.3v across by subtracting it from both sides.


Finally, we divide both sides by the coefficient of v.

168/56 or 3. 21/8 times 8/7 equals 168 over 56. Also can be 3
(a) The sum of length and width is half the perimeter, so the breadth in terms of length (x) in cm will be
.. breadth = 34 -x
(b) Then the expression for the area (in cm^2) is
.. area = length*breadth
.. 253 = (x)(34 -x)
.. x^2 -34x +253 = 0 . . . . . subtract the right side, eliminate parentheses
.. (x -11)(x -23) = 0 . . . . . . . factor
.. x = 11 or 23
The dimensions of the rectangle are 11 cm by 23 cm.
