The perimeter (distance around the shape) of a rectangle is 40 cm. The length is 14 cm. Let x = width of the rectangle.

Ravi says he can find the width using the equation 2(x + 14) = 40.
Fran says she can find the width using the equation 2x + 28 = 40.

Answer the questions to solve the equations and to compare the steps and solutions.

2. What would your next step be?

A. Add 14 to both sides

B. Subtract 14 from both sides

C. Divide both sides by 2

D. Multiply both sides by 2

D. D is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

D is your answer because 2 is right next to the parentheses. Multiply. If this is wrong, I am so sorry. I really am, but that's what I got.

Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

because 1/3 is a fraction. we can tell because there is a divisor symbol between the 1 and the 3. if we were to add 2 fractions together, we would add the numerators, which is the number on top, but not the denominators, which is the number on the bottom

1/3+1/3=2/3

hope this !
