Answer: (or )
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rectangle can be calculated with the following formula:
Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.
In this case we know that the length of a flowerbed is 4 times as long as its width. This can be expressed as:
We know that the width of the flowerbed is:
Therefore, substituting the width into , we get that the length is:
Finally we can substitute the width and the lenght into the formula for calculate the area of a rectangle:
(or )
2x 2 y
-xy
xy
xy 2
2xy
Answer:
All like terms sorted are:
x, 2x
y
xy, 2xy, -xy
and then all the lone 2's are technically like terms as well
Hope this helps :)
