l = 14 2/3

w = 9 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l = length

w = 2+ 1/2l

We know the perimeter is 48 and is given by

P = 2(l+w)

48 = 2(l + 2 +1/2l)

Distribute

48 = 2l+4+l

Combine like terms

48 = 3l +4

Subtract 4 from each side

48-4 = 3l+4-4

44= 3l

Divide each side by 3

44/3 = 3l/3

44/3 =l

14 2/3 =l

Now we need to find w

w = 2 + 1/2 l

=2 + 1/2(44/3)

= 2 +44/6

=12/6 +44/6

=56/6

=9 1/3

The Length of the rectangle is 14 $\frac{2}{3}$ m and width 9 $\frac{1}{3}$ m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Perimeter of the rectangle = 48 m

The width of the rectangle is 2 more than half the length.

To find the length and width of the rectangle.

Formula

Perimeter of the rectangle of length l and width b is = 2(l+b)

Let,

Length = l

Width = $\frac{l}{2} +2$ [ given]

Now,

According to the problem

2(l+ $\frac{l}{2} +2$ ) = 48

or, $l+\frac{l}{2} +2$ = 24

or, $\frac{3l}{2}$ = 24-2

or, $\frac{3l}{2}$ = 22

or, l = $\frac{22X2}{3}$ = $\frac{44}{3}$ = 14 $\frac{2}{3}$

And width = $\frac{44}{3X2}+2$ = $\frac{28}{3}$ = 9 $\frac{1}{3}$

Hence,

Length = 14 $\frac{2}{3}$ m and width = 9 $\frac{1}{3}$ m

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.
