An architect plans to build an extension to Meiling's rectangular deck. Let x represent the increase, in meters, of her deck's length. The expression 3(x + 8) represents the area of the deck, where 3 is
the width, in meters, and (X + 8) represents the extended length, in meters. Use the Distributive
Property to write an expression that represents the total area of Meiling's new deck.
The desk is 8m and 3m

a=24; b=12

step-by-step explanation:

a/b=2: 1

a=2b

36/(1+2)=12

b=12

a=24

2: 10

step-by-step explanation:

actually what is a question i don't understand

yes, gavin is right.

step-by-step explanation:

gavin is correct. 

this problem is about converting 9% per year to how many percent per quarter. the rate is still the same. it only differed in the time period. so, through dimensional analysis,

9% per year  × (1 year / 4 quarters) = 2.25% per quarter

if he was asked to convert 9% per year to how many percent per quarter  compounded quarterly, then you will not simply divide by four. this is because compounding is not linear.

hope this , have a good day. c;
