Hello!
When finding the perimeter of a rectangle, you have to consider the properties of a rectangle. A rectangle has two pairs of equal sides where one is the width, while the other one is the length.
Now looking back at your question, it says "... a rectangle that is x units wide" ⇒ you let the width = x ; this is the same with "y units long" ⇒ length = y. Perimeter can just be : P = 24.
Therefore,
The equation would be:
x + x + y + y = P.
2x + 2y = P.
(Sub in P = 24)
∴ 2x + 2y = 24. (This should be your answer.)
:) Good luck (Message me if you have any problem)
Explanation
We are asked to give a counter-example for the given statement
A counter-example is an example that opposes or contradicts an idea or statement.
Therefore, for the statement
we have that
Statement: If an appliance is used for cooling
Conclusion: then it is a refrigerator
Then, the option that contradicts this, will be a clothes dryer
Because a dryer doesn't cool
Hence, the answer is a cloth dryer
option D
Answer:
The answer is option 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve the inequality, you have to get rid of -3 by adding 3 to both sides :
Answer:
9 cans of soup and the 4 frozen dinners were purchased
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of cans of soup purchased.
Let y represent the number of frozen dinners purchased.
Lincoln purchased a total of 13 cans of soup and frozen dinners. This means that
x + y = 13
Each can of soup has 250 mg of sodium and each frozen dinner has 550 mg of sodium. The 13 cans of soup and frozen dinners which he purchased collectively contain 4450 mg of sodium. This means that
250x + 550y = 4450 - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 13 - y into equation 1, it becomes
250(13 - y) + 550y = 4450
3250 - 250y + 550y = 4450
- 250y + 550y = 4450 - 3250
300y = 1200
y = 1200/300
y = 4
Substituting y = 4 into x = 13 - y, it becomes
x = 13 - 4 = 9
