Answer:
4(x-1)units
Step-by-step explanation:
In a given rectangle, the length of the rectangle is the shorter side while its breadth is the longer side.
Since we have 2 lengths and 2 breadths in a rectangle, the perimeter of the rectangle will be 2L+2x where
L is the length(shorter side) and x is the breadth (longer side).
According to the question, the shorter side(L) is 2 units less than the longer side(x). Mathematically,
L = x-2
Substituting L = x-2 into the formula of perimeter of a rectangle we have,
P = 2(x-2) + 2x
P = 2x-4+2x
P = 4x-4
P = 4(x-1)
The perimeter of the rectangle will be 4(x-1)units
We have to calculate the 20% of $30.75
The 20% of $30.75=(20/100)*$30.75=(20*$30.75)/100=$6.15
The sale price of the jacket was $6.15.
Answer:
6.2y - 3.7
Step-by-step explanation:
−y+5.3+7.2y−9
Subtract 9 from 5.3 to get −3.7.
−y−3.7+7.2y
Combine −y and 7.2y to get 6.2y.
6.2y−3.7
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2L + 2W
Perimeter = 39
W = 8.5
we plug those into the perimeter equation and get
2L + 2(8.5) = 39
simplify
2L + 17 = 39
subtract 17 from both sides
2L = 22
divide both sides by 2
L = 11
therefore the length of the sheet of paper is 11 in.
