1) 40-25= 15
2) 15/3=5
3) each gift costs $5

Then to check:
1) 5x3=15
2) 25+15=40
Therefore p=5

How do you find the width of a rectangle when the perimeter is given?

Usually you are given more information about the rectangle such as distance of length in terms of width.

You know that the formula for perimeter is

P=2(l+w)

Substitute p and the other values to find width.

find the quadratic equation if its solutions are 1.5 and -.25, and the equation coefficients are not decimals.

denpristay [2]

If a quadratic equation has solutions $x_1$ and $x_2$ , then we can write it as

$(x-x_1)(x-x_2)$

So, in your case, we have (let me write 1.5 as 3/2 and -0.25 as -1/4)

$\left(x-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)\left(x+\dfrac{1}{4}\right) = x^2-\dfrac{5}{4}x-\dfrac{3}{8}$

If we don't want decimal coefficient, we can multiply the whole expression by 8:

$8x^2-10x-3$
