The length of a rectangle is 4 cm longer than the width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 20 cm what is the area?
LENGTH: x%2B4
WIDTH: x
perimeter:
2(x+4)+2(x)=20
2x+8+2x=20
4x+8=20
4x=12
x=(3)
The width is 3cm, but the length is 7cm.
Area = length * width = 3 * 7 = 21cm^2
Dorthy wants to rent a car for a week and pay no more than $130. How far can she drive if the car rental cost $94 a week plus $0.12 a mile?
130+%3E=+.12x+%2B+94
36+%3E=+.12x
300+%3E=+x
