Answer: f(x) = x/2 + 4.
where f(x) is the number of stamps that Tom has, and x is the number of stamps that Myrna has.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement is:
"Tom has four more than half the stamps that Myrna has"
For how is written, we can model the number of stamps that Tom has as a function f(x).
f(x) represents the number of stamps that Tom has, and x is the number of stamps that Myrna has.
Then:
"four more than a number" is written as:
N + 4 (where N is the number)
"Half the stamps that Myrna has" is written as:
x/2.
Then the whole statement can be modeled as:
f(x) = x/2 + 4.
notice that we have x/2, and f(x) must be a whole number, so Myrna must have an even number of stamps (in that case x/2 will be integer)
Check the picture below.
notice, when dividing we have to put the dividend in descending order, now, the cubic, square and single terms are there, but they have a coefficient of 0, as you see in the picture in green, so we add those properly.
The perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as:
P = perimeter
l = length
w = width
P = 2(l + w)
Plug in our values to the formula mentioned above
32 m = 2(l + 5).
Start by dividing each side by 2.
16 = l + 5.
Subtract 5 from each side.
11 = l.
