<span>Simplifying
12 + -6(w + -3) = 3(-5 + -3w) + 21

Reorder the terms:
12 + -6(-3 + w) = 3(-5 + -3w) + 21
12 + (-3 * -6 + w * -6) = 3(-5 + -3w) + 21
12 + (18 + -6w) = 3(-5 + -3w) + 21

Combine like terms: 12 + 18 = 30
30 + -6w = 3(-5 + -3w) + 21
30 + -6w = (-5 * 3 + -3w * 3) + 21
30 + -6w = (-15 + -9w) + 21

Reorder the terms:
30 + -6w = -15 + 21 + -9w

Combine like terms: -15 + 21 = 6
30 + -6w = 6 + -9w

Solving
30 + -6w = 6 + -9w

Solving for variable 'w'.

Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '9w' to each side of the equation.
30 + -6w + 9w = 6 + -9w + 9w

Combine like terms: -6w + 9w = 3w
30 + 3w = 6 + -9w + 9w

Combine like terms: -9w + 9w = 0
30 + 3w = 6 + 0
30 + 3w = 6

Add '-30' to each side of the equation.
30 + -30 + 3w = 6 + -30

Combine like terms: 30 + -30 = 0
0 + 3w = 6 + -30
3w = 6 + -30

Combine like terms: 6 + -30 = -24
3w = -24

Divide each side by '3'.
w = -8

Simplifying
w = -8</span>

A rectangles length is 1.5 times its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is four more than 3 times the length. What are the di
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

  8 by 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width of the rectangle. Then the length is 1.5w. The perimeter is 4 more than 3 times this, so is (3(1.5w) +4) = 4.5w+4

The perimeter is given by the formula ...

  P = 2(length + width)

Filling in the given values for the variables, we have ...

  4.5w +4 = 2(w +1.5w)

  4 = 0.5w . . . . . . subtract 4.5w and collect terms

  8 = w . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2

  length = 1.5×8 = 12

The rectangle is 8 units wide and 12 units long. The perimeter is 40 units.

Parallel = same slope
Y = -3x + 7, the slope is -3
Slope intercept form: y = mx + b
Y = -3x + b
Plug in point (2,-4) and solve for b
-4 = -3(2) + b
-4 = -6 + b, b = 2
Solution: y = -3x + 2
The answer is D
