Step-by-step explanation:
15 + 2x = 42
-15 -15
----- -----
2x = 23
----- ------
2 2
x = 11.5
-|-10|-(-10)
A negative outside of the “ | “ means that one number inside will be negative . -10-(-10)
An imaginary | will “appear” in between the two negative signs or it will turn into an addition sign.
-10+10
A positive subtracts negatives from the negative number. The answer is 0
I hope this helped.
Length = 2(width)
perimeter = 36 cm
using variables where x = width and y = length
Perimeter = 2x + 2y = 36 cm
y = 2x
solving for length 2x + 2(2x) = 36 cm
2x + 4x = 36 cm
6x = 36 cm
x = 6 cm
so y = 2(6 cm) = 12 cm
area of rectangle = 12 cm * 6 cm = 72 cm^2
