Answer: 55
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of cars washed last year be denoted as x.
This year, he washed 14 fewer cars than during last year's car wash. This will be denoted as x-14.
We can then represent them in an equation as:
x + (x - 14) = 96
2x - 14 = 96
2x = 96 + 14
2x = 110
x = 110/2
x = 55
Therefore, he washed 55 cars this year
This is 4x=2x-2 as a graph
Option 4 would be the correct answer
The product would expand to
This is a trinomial, and the only way to make it a binomial is to cancel out a coefficient using our variable 
.
So, we can cancel either the linear term or the constant term.
In the first case, we require
In the second case, we require
But must be a non-zero rational number, so this solution is not feasible.
Let x be the initial width, then the initial length is x+20.
<span>If Elise decreases this length by 8 feet, she will get the new length x+20-8=x+12.
</span>
If Elise increases the width by 10 feet, <span>she will get the new width x+10.
</span><span>
</span><span>The new perimeter will be x+12+x+12+x+10+x+10=4x+44=172, 4x=172-44, 4x=128, x=128÷4, x=32.
</span><span>
</span><span>The initial width is 32 ft and the initial length is 32+20=52 ft.
</span><span>
</span><span>The new width will be 32+10=42 ft, the new length will be 32+12=44 ft.
