Compare the enumerators because they have the same denominator. 2 is large than 1 so 2/3 is larger than 1/3
Hope this helps!

Answer:
7. d. l = 6.48 cm, w = 6.48 cm
8. d. square
Step-by-step explanation:
For a given area, the perimeter can always be shortened by reducing the length of the long side and increasing the length of the short side. When you get to the point where you can't do that, then you have the minimum perimeter. You will reach that point when the sides are the same length: the rectangle is a square.
__
7. In light of the above, the best dimensions are √42 ≈ 6.48 cm for length and width.
__
8. In light of the above, the shape is a square.
_____
The attached graph shows the length of one side (x) and the associated perimeter. The other side is 42/x, which will also be 6.48.
Answer:
The 21st term is 137.
Step-by-step explanation:
Arithmetic progression:
In an arithmetic progression the difference between consecutive terms is always the same, and its called common difference.
The nth term is given by:

In which
is the first term and d is the common difference.
The first two terms are -3, 4.
This means that 
So


The 21st term is

The 21st term is 137.
Answer:
The 3 possible values of x are;
6, 4 and 2
Step-by-step explanation:
If the triangle is isosceles, then two of the sides must be equal
So we equate the sides, 2 at a time to get the different values of x
3x + 4 = 2x + 10
3x-2x = 10-4
x = 6
3x + 4 = x + 12
3x-x = 12-4
2x = 8
x = 8/2 = 4
2x + 10 = x + 12
2x - x = 12-10
x = 2
Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
(2 (3 x - 4))/5 = -4
Multiply both sides of (2 (3 x - 4))/5 = -4 by 5/2:
(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = -4×5/2
5/2×2/5 = (5×2)/(2×5):
(5×2)/(2×5) (3 x - 4) = -4×5/2
5/2 (-4) = (5 (-4))/2:
(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = (-4×5)/2
(5×2 (3 x - 4))/(2×5) = (2×5)/(2×5)×(3 x - 4) = 3 x - 4:
3 x - 4 = (-4×5)/2
(-4)/2 = (2 (-2))/2 = -2:
3 x - 4 = 5×-2
5 (-2) = -10:
3 x - 4 = -10
Add 4 to both sides:
3 x + (4 - 4) = 4 - 10
4 - 4 = 0:
3 x = 4 - 10
4 - 10 = -6:
3 x = -6
Divide both sides of 3 x = -6 by 3:
(3 x)/3 = (-6)/3
3/3 = 1:
x = (-6)/3
The gcd of -6 and 3 is 3, so (-6)/3 = (3 (-2))/(3×1) = 3/3×-2 = -2:
Answer: x = -2
