Hello!
When finding the perimeter of a rectangle, you have to consider the properties of a rectangle. A rectangle has two pairs of equal sides where one is the width, while the other one is the length.
Now looking back at your question, it says "... a rectangle that is x units wide" ⇒ you let the width = x ; this is the same with "y units long" ⇒ length = y. Perimeter can just be : P = 24.
Therefore,
The equation would be:
x + x + y + y = P.
2x + 2y = P.
(Sub in P = 24)
∴ 2x + 2y = 24. (This should be your answer.)
:) Good luck (Message me if you have any problem)
16 is the answer to this question.
The answer is A.
If a redundant conclusion is reached in basic algebra this states that the variable holds all possible real values.
If you algebraically solve Kendra's you do achieve the true statement 5 = 5 (leaving out D). And if you test any value of x for the equation it does hold true (getting rid of B).
Hopefully this makes sense.
Answer:
(2x+1)(x+7)
Step-by-step explanation:
Guess and Check
(2x+7)(x+1) = 2x^2+9x+7. NOPE
(2x+1)(x+7) = 2x^2+15x+7. YES
A - This is the same as : (3*3*3*3)/4 Wrong.
B - This is 12/4 Wrong.
C- This is 3/2 * 3/2 * 3/2 * 3/2 Correct.
