Answer:

write the expression for the perimeter of the 1st rectangle 6x

write the expression for the perimeter of the 2nd rectangle 4x + 30

write the equation 6x = 4x + 30

x= 15

perimeter = 90

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is adding up all the sides of the rectangle.

So for the first one, we know two of the sides: x and 2x. The opposite sides have the same values. So the other two sides are x and 2x.

Therefore, the perimeter is

2x + x + 2x + x

or

6x

Similarly with the second rectangles:

(x+12) + (x+3) + (x+12) + (x+3)

Combine like terms

x + x + x + x + 12 + 3 + 12 + 3

4x + 30

Set these two equal to each other because the two perimeters are equal

6x = 4x + 30

Subtract 4x on both sides

2x = 30

Divide by 2 on both sides

x = 15

Check:

6(15) = 4(15) + 30

90 = 60 + 30

90 = 90

The common perimeter is

6*15 = 90 units

To find slope subtract the two points in the coordinate (y). We have 8 and 4 so subtract those two. You get 8-4=4. Now start from the same coordinate expect this time subtract (x). Which is 9-3=6. You have 4/6 simplify and you get 2/3. Your slope is 2/3. Hope this helps

Pls help this is very easy

Answer:

20/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, so by using the "keep me, change me, turn me over" method - we can easily solve this:

\frac{8}{9}\div \frac{2}{5}\\=\frac{8}{9}\times \frac{5}{2}\\=\frac{4}{9}\times \frac{5}{1}\\=\frac{4\times \:5}{9\times \:1}\\=\frac{20}{9}
