8+(-10) is like 10-8 except backwards so how i do some problems is like that and then add a negative sign; so say if i were doing 8+(-10), i would do 10-8 which equals 2 and then since 10 is bigger than 8 and it’s a negative number, i would put -2 as my answer
We know that the perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w)
l = length
w = width
In our problem,
l = 5x
w = 5x - 4
Let's create an inequality to help us solve this problem.
2(5x + (5x - 4)) ≥ 96
Let's start off by simplifying the terms inside the parentheses.
2(10x - 4) ≥ 96
Distribute the 2
20x - 8 ≥ 96
Add 8 to both sides.
20x ≥ 104
Divide both sides by 20
x ≥ 5.2
Let's plug 5.2 into x for our length and width.
Length = 5x = 5(5.2) = 26 cm
Width = 5x - 4 = 5(5.2) - 4 = 26 - 4 = 22 cm
The smallest possible dimensions for the rectangle are, length = 26 cm and width = 22 cm
Grandma and Grandpa are the subjects of this sentence. Why? Because they are the ones who did the action, which is that they "came to visit"
Hi there!
Im so sorry for wasting an answer on this but Im stuck on this one too and will inform you on when I get the answer!
