Answer:
a) 2x+3
b) 5x-7
c) 2x-10
d) 3x/2
Step-by-step explanation:
the number considered is x
Perimeter means the sides add up to 12.
Rectangles have two pairs of equal sides.
2(one side) + 2(another side) = 12
2 (one side + another side) = 12
(one side + another side) = 6
To draw a rectangle with a perimeter of 12 units, the two adjacent sides must add up to 6.
1 + 5
2 + 4
3 + 3
So here we're dealing with equivalent fractions.
It's really simple to find the answer, so I'll try to explain the best I can.
2 dogs / 5 cats is really just 2/5.
If we want to find an equivalent fraction, we have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number.
Currently the number of cats is 5, and we need it to be 140. What we need to do is find the number it has to be multiplied by to equal 140, which is 140 divided by 5. 140 divided by 5 is 28, so 5 x 28 = 140!
We need to multiply the denominator (5) by 28, so that we can get 140. What we have now is ?/140.
Like I said, to find an equivalent fraction, we need to multiply the numerator by the same number as we did the denominator, which is 28!
2 x 28 = 56.
So 2/5 is the same as 56/140.
The answer is D) 56 Dogs/140 Cats.
Hope this helps!

I can’t rly see the question please make it bigger
Answer: x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
4(2x-7)-2x=-10
Multiply 4 with 2x and -7
8x-28-2x=-10
Add like terms which are 8x and -2x
6x-28=-10
Add 28 to both sides so the -28 cancels out
6x=18
Divide both sides by 6 to isolate the x
Answer= x=3
