Answer:

$C.\ Perimeter = 48 * 18$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for her sketch

Required

Which equation do not represent the perimeter

From the attached sketch:

$L =18in$ --- Length

$W =48in$ --- Width

Perimeter (P) is calculated as:

$P = 2 * (L + W)$

This gives:

$P = 2 * (18 + 48)$ ---- This represents (A)

Open bracket

$P = 2 * 18 + 2*48$ ---- This represents (B)

In algebra:

$2 * a$ means $a+ a$

So, the expression becomes

$P = 18 + 18 +48 + 48$ --- This represents (D)

<em>This implies that (C) does not represent the perimeter</em>

Given the equation y = 4x - 3.A) If x increases by 1 unit, what is the corresponding change in y? B) If x decreases by 5 units,

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

A) y will increase by 4 unit.

B) y will decrease by 20 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation that shows relation between x and y.

$y=4x-3$

A) If x is increased by 4 units

New value of y = $4(x+1)-3$

$=4x+4-3$

$=4x+1$

So, change in y = new value of y- original value of y

$=4x+1-(4x-3)$

$=4x+1-4x+3$

$=4$

Thus, the value of y will be increased by 4 units.

B) If x is decreased by 5 units

New value of y = $4(x-5)-3$

$=4x-20-3$

$=4x-23$

So, change in y = new value of y- original value of y

$=4x+1-(4x-3)$

$=4x-23-(4x-3)$

$=4x-23-4x+3$

= -20

Thus, the value of y will be decreased by 20 units.

5÷x-4 - 2÷x+2 = 4÷x-4

Alborosie

I'd suggest you begin by subtracting 4 / (x-4) from both sides. Doing that would leave you with 1 / (x-4) - 2 / (x+2) = 0.

LCD is (x-4)(x+2). Mult. all three terms by (x-4)(x+2). The resulting equation is

x+2 - 2(x-4) = 0. Then x+2 = 2x - 8 => x = 10

Subst. 10 for x in the original equation to verify that 10 is indeed a solution.
