the width of a rectangle is 3 less than twice the length x. if the area of the rectangle is 43 square feet, which equation can b e used to find the length in feet.

f. 2x(x-3)=43
g. x(3-2x)=43
h.2x+2(2x-3)=43
g. x(2x-3)=43

is it f.

2. sasha and lakeisha went to the shopping mall. sasha spent 5x+2 for clothes. lakeisha on the other hand spent 3x-1 on various items. which expression represent the average mount of money that the girls spent?

a.(5x+2)(3x-1)
b.(5x+2)-(3x-1)
c.(5x+2)/(3x-1)
d.(5x+2)/2+(3x-1)/2

is it d

1 answer

both correct

However, I'd have written #2d as

(5x+2 + 3x-1)/2

just to show it's the average of two numbers, rather than half of each.
