Answer:

Length = 3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If the equation for perimeter is p = 2 (L+W)

You can plug in the information you already have

1) 18 = 2 (L+6)

2) Simplify by first dividing 2 by itself to cancel it out and then by 18 which would equal 9 leaving you with the equation 9 = L+6

3) Now to leave the L alone on the right you need to cancel out the 6 by subtracting 6 from itself and then from 9 which would leave you with the equation and the answer to the problem, 3 = L

A student solved a quadratic equation as shown here:
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

x = 3/2 or x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The identifiable error the students have is that before the left hand side of the equation is factorized, the right hand side value of 12 ought to be brought to the left hand side, leaving a net value of zero on the right hand side. Then whatever is factored  on the left hand side is then equated to zero and then we can find the two values of x after setting each of the individual factors to zero

We proceed as follows;

2x^{2} + 5x = 12\\2x^{2} + 5x - 12 = 0\\2x^{2} + 8x -3x -12 = 0\\2x(x+4) -3(x+4) = 0\\(2x-3)(x+4) = 0\\2x-3 = 0 or x+4 =0\\2x=3 or x=-4\\x = 3/2 or x= -4\\x = 1.5 or- 4

Andre tried to solve the equation 1/4(x + 12) = 2. What was his mistake? *
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

x+12=8    

x=8-12

Andre did not multiple both by four to get the exact whole number. He also, didnt subtract 12 which is not possible due to it being multiplied by 1/4.
