I'm not doing your math homework, this is to help you learn and pass your test :) I will however show you a trick. ask your self this... "What can i factor out of 4x that i can also factor out of 8, which this would be 4. Now what you do if you divide everything by 4
4x/4 = x
8/4 = 2
so 4(x+2) is 4x+8 fully factored, NOW to check, use the distributive property, Multiply 4 back into x+2
4*x = 4x
4*2 = 8
so 4(x+2) = 4x+8

The length of a rectangle is 12 inches more than its width. What is the width of the rectangle if the perimeter is 42 inches?
x best represents .
x + 12 best represents
Answer:
The dimensions of a rectangular prism are 21 in. by 20 in. by 19 in.
To find:
The volume of the rectangular prism.
Solution:
Let the length, breadth and height are 21 in, 20 in and 19 in respectively.
Volume of the rectangular prism is
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 7980 cubic inches.
We apply the Pythagorean theorem twice and obtain:
12 ^ 2 = x ^ 2 + (15-d) ^ 2
9 ^ 2 = x ^ 2 + d ^ 2
We observe that it is a system of two equations with two unknowns whose solutions are:
(x, d) = (-36/5, 27/5)
(x, d) = (36/5, 27/5)
We ignore the negative solution, therefore, the solution is:
(x, d) = (36/5, 27/5)
Answer:
The length of the new fence is:
x = 36/5 meters
