The length of a rectangular sign is 5 times its width. If the sign’s perimeter is 24 inches, what is the sign’s area?

A=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x

x=width. 5x =L

2(L+W)=p

2(5x+x) =24

10x+2x=24

12x=24

12x/12 =24/22

x=2

A =LxW

A = (5x2)x x

A =10 x2

A=20

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
