The length of a rectangle is 4 less than twice the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 106 cm. Determine the length of the rectangl

Length = 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of rectangle = a+a+b+b = 2(a+b)

Let a = length = 2b - 4

Let b = width

Therefore

(2b-4) + (2b-4) + b + b = 106 cm

Bracket off

2b-4+2b-4+b+b = 106cm

Collect like terms

2b+2b+b+b-4-4 = 106cm

6b-8 = 106

6b = 106+8

6b = 114

b = 114÷6

b = 19

To get a

2b - 4

2(19) - 4

38-4

= 34

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.
