Answer:

17 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

P = 51 --- Perimeter of rectangle

Required

The length of the original square

The perimeter is calculated as

51 = 2(L + W)

Divide by 2

25.5 = L + W

The rectangle and the square have the same length.

So:

L = 2W

25.5 = L + W becomes

25.5 = 2W + W

25.5 = 3W

Divide both sides by 3

W = 8.5

Recall that:

L = 2W

L = 2 * 8.5

L = 17

Use factoring to simplify the expression x^2-x-6/x-3 assume that x does not equal 3
Gre4nikov [31]
This works out beautifully.  You COULD use long division here, but since your numerator is a quadratic, your first instinct should be to try and factor it.  If you factor it, it works out to be (x - 3)(x + 2).  Now it just so happens that when you do that, the (x - 3) in the numerator will cancel with the (x - 3) in the denominator leaving you with one sad and lonely (x + 2) as your answer.

Position to term rule of 2, 6, 10, 14, 18<br><br> multiply by _____ and subtract by _____
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

2, 6, 10, 14, 18

An arithmetic sequence has a constant difference and is defined as

\:a_n=a_1+\left(n-1\right)d

compute the differences of all the adjacent terms

6-2=4,\:\quad \:10-6=4,\:\quad \:14-10=4,\:\quad \:18-14=4

The difference between all the adjacent terms is the same.

Thus,

d=4

and

a_1=2

Therefore, the nth term is computed by:

a_n=4\left(n-1\right)+2

a_n=4n-2

Thus, position to term rule of 2, 6, 10, 14, 18  multiply by __4___ and subtract by __2__.
