You haven't included enough information for the question, but assuming that a and b are the same then a is 4 and b is 4
In both problems, the sum of side lengths is the perimeter. Opposite sides of a parallelogram (or rectangle) are equal in length, so you can find the perimeter by doubling the sum of adjacent sides.
25. 2(x +(x +15)) = (x +45) +(x +40) +(x +25)
.. 4x +30 = 3x +110 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
.. x = 80 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3x+30
.. 4x +30 = 4*80 +30 = 240
The perimeter of each is 240 units.
26. 2(x +(x +2)) = (x) +(x +6) +(x +4)
.. 4x +4 = 3x +10 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
.. x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3x+4
.. 4x +4 = 4*6 +4 = 28
The perimeter of each is 28 units.
Answer:
d is it
Step-by-step explanation:
Well,
As we can see, the only difference is that the parentheses have moved.
This is an example of the associative property. It is specifically of multiplication, because products are used in this case.
Just as a test, let's see whether they are really equal.
Following PEMDAS, we get:
(2*4)7 = 2(7*4)
(8)7 = 2(28)
56 = 56
They are equivalent.
