Explanation:
2.
n×3 = 3n
n + 12
(n - 5)×2
5.
the perimeter of a rectangle is the way to fully "walk" around it one time.
so, that means twice the length plus twice the width.
2×4x + 2×(2x + 5y) = 8x + 4x + 10y = 12x + 10y
6.
x = bars for Jeanelle
y = bars for Eashan
z = bars for Rameen
x + y + z = 17
x = y + 3
z = 2x
from the second equation we get
y = x - 3
and when we put the identities of the second and third equations into the first equation we get
x + (x - 3) + 2x = 17
x + x - 3 + 2x = 17
4x - 3 = 17
4x = 20
x = 5
y = x - 3 = 5 - 3 = 2
z = 2x = 2×5 = 10
Jeanelle got 5 bars.
Eashan got 2 bars.
Rameen got 10 bars.
