The perimeter of a parallelogram is 72 meters. the width of the parallelogram is 4 meters less than it length. find the length and the width of the parallelogram.

P = L + L + w + w

72 = 2(L) + 2(L-4)

Distribute

72 = 2(L) + 2(L) - 8

Add like terms

72 = 4(L) - 8

Subtract 8 from both sides

64 = 4(L)

Divide both sides by 4

16 = L

The length is 16. Now substitute that in the equation for finding w.

w = L - 4

w =

wholesale price is the initial price before markup. retail price comes after the markup.

a price of 8 bucks that's marked up by 100%   is

formula: initial price + (percent markup in fraction/decimal)(initial price)

8+(1)(8)

8+8

16

retail price is $16.

hope it

step-by-step explanation:

x^(1/6) · x^(1/6) · x^(1/6)   ·x^(1/6) = x^(4/6)   since we add the exponents

4/6 can be simplified to 2/3

the simplified form is x^(2/3)
