Perimeter = 2w + 2l
2(8x+2) + 2(6x + 6)
Use distributive property
16x + 4 + 12x + 12
Combine like terms
28x + 16
Solution: 28x + 16
Question 1:
We are going to add.
1/5 + 1/2
2/10 + 5/10
7/10
Note that we are going DOWN so the number will be negative.
Therefore, the answer is A.) -7/10
Question 2:
We are going to subtract.
4 1/2 - 1 2/3
9/2 - 5/3
27/6 - 10/6
17/6 or 2 5/6
Note that we are still BELOW sea level so the number will be negative.
Therefore, the answer is C.) -2 5/6
Question 3:
We are going to subtract.
2 2/3 - 1 1/5
8/3 - 6/5
40/15 - 18/15
22/15 or 1 7/15
Therefore, the answer is B.) 1 7/15
Best of Luck!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be x , y
Sum of two numers = -7
x + y = -7------------(I)
Two times the first number equals 4 the second number.
2x = 4y ----------(II)
Divide both sides by 2
x = 2y
Subtitute x = 2y in equation (I)
2y + y = -7
3y = -7
y = -7/3
Plugin y = -7/3 in equation (II)
