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

Explain why 2a+3b=5ab
Ahat [919]

That's not correct. The terms 2a and 3b are not like terms, so we cannot combine them to get 5ab. We simply leave it as 2a+3b.

If you had 2a+3a, then it would simplify to 5a

Similarly, 2b+3b = 5b

Or you could have 2ab+3ab = 5ab

The key is that the variable portions must match up to be able to add them.

PLEASE HELP ITS URGENT. I’ll give lots of points who helps !! Please
Molodets [167]

Answer:

D:21

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the vertical angles equation.

4x + 13 = 5x - 8

Subtract 4x from 5x.

5x - 4x = x

13 = x - 8

Add 8 on both dies.

13 + 8 = 21

x = 21

JKLM has x that equals 21.

<JKLM and <LMJK equal 97 degrees.

Hope it helped!

Use the limit theorem and the properties of limits to find the limit.<br> Picture provided below
sashaice [31]

Answer:

b. 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

lim        (x -3)(x +2)

x-->-∞    ---------------

              2x^2 + x +1

= lim        (x^2 -3x +2x - 6)

x-->-∞    -----------------------

              2x^2 + x +1

= lim        (x^2 -x - 6)

x-->-∞    -----------------------

              2x^2 + x +1

When we plug in x = -∞, we get indeterminate form.

Now we have to use the L'hospital rule.

d/dx (x^2 - x - 6) = 2x -1

d/dx (2x^2 + x + 1) = 4x + 1

Now apply the limit

lim            (2x - 1) / (4x + 1)

x--->-∞

Here we have to degree of the numerator and the denominator of the same. In this case, if x --> -∞, we get the result as the coefficient of the leading term as the result.

According to the rule, we get

= 2/4

Which can simplified as 1/2

The answer is 1/2

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.
