The simple way of calculating a perimeter is to add all of the sides.
For a rectangle this would equal 2 x length + 2 x width
P = 2(6x + 3) + 2(-2x - 5)
= 12x + 6 - 4x - 10
= 8x - 4
At a higher level both the length and width must be greater than zero (= zero is a trivial rectangle)
6x + 3 > 0
6x > -3
x > -0.5
-2x - 5 > 0
2x + 5 < 0 (multiplying by -1 reverses the inequality)
2x < -5
x < -2.5
This rectangle cannot exist as x cannot be < -2.5 and > -0.5 at the same time!
Answer:
42
Step-by-step explanation:
Shanice =88
If greg won x pieces of gum, and 88 was 4 more than twice as many as Greg
2x+4=88
2x=84
x=42
The triangles are similar because of the SAS postulate. The sides are proportional and angle T is equal in both.
