The rectangle shown has a perimeter of 16 inches
a. write an equation describing the possible values of x and y
b. use intercepts to graph the equation from part a
c. give three pairs of whole-number values of x and y that could represent side lengths of the rectangle
d. does either the x-intercept or the y-intercept represent a possible side length of the rectangle? explain

!

We let x and y be the dimensions of the rectangle such that its perimeter will be twice the sum of the dimensions.
                         P = 16 = 2(x + y)
Three pairs of the side lengths
                             x  = 1 and y = 7
                             x = 2 and y = 6
                              x = 3 and y = 5
The x-intercept and the y-intercept will not represent a possible combination of the lengths of the sides because of the values of either lengths being 0. 

Ithink you're supposed to multiply 12.50 which is how much he makes per hour and then multiply it by each number then add whats left togrther and there's your answer
