I agree with the 14x all right, but the remainder of the other part is 178. I'm going to recheck my answer. I'm not confident about using synthetic division for this question. It is 57 years since I did something like this. If I was more confident, I would list the results of synthetic division because it is much easier to show than long division. I'm saying the answer should be 14x + 178.
Answer:
108
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be hourly rate
1508. --. 14hours
x --. 1 hour
cross multiply
14x= 1508
x=1508÷14
x= 108(approximately)
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
2 × length + 2 × width
2l + 2w
2(l+w)
We want the perimeter to be 24, so the equation is
![2(l+w) = 24](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2%28l%2Bw%29%20%3D%2024)
, divide both sides by 2
![l+w = 12](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=l%2Bw%20%3D%2012)
We then think of combination of two numbers that sum gives 12
1 + 11
2 + 10
3 + 9
4 + 8
5 + 7
6 + 6 ⇒ This combination will give us a square, not a rectangle
7 + 5 ⇒ This repeat the other combination 5+7
So we can have rectangles with combination of length and width
1 by 11
2 by 10
3 by 9
4 by 8, and
5 by 7
