An equivalent fraction for 1/2 would be 2/4. This is because you can simplify 2/4 by dividing it by 2. The final answer would be 1/2.
An equivalent fraction for 4/5 would be 8/10. It's basically the same thing. Divide them both by 2 and you'll get 4/5 since 8 divided by 2 is 4, and 10 divided by 2 is 5.
I got -3.........................
-7 - 7p = 3p + 23
Move the -7p over to the right....by adding
-7 = 10p +23
Move the 23 over to the left by subtracting
-30 = 10p
divide by 10
p = -3
perimeter = 2width + 2 length
102 = 2(x+9) + 2x
102 = 2x + 18 +2x
102 = 4x +18
84 = 4x
21 = x
Length = x = 21 inches
Width = x + 9 = 21 + 9 = 30 inches
