I'd appreciate it if you could help me! Thank you! (Worth 10+ Points.) A book is 1/2 an inch thick. If a shelf is 5 3/4 inches wide, how many books can fit in a 5 shelf bookcase? Create and solve an equation. Divide.

each side has a different length.  

step-by-step explanation:

answer: what are the answer choices?

step-by-step explanation:

2 equivalent expressions to represent the area of a rectangle and the top is n-3 and the side is 2

area of the rectangle = length * width

given length = n - 3

width = 2

replace it in the area

so area of the rectangle = (n-3) *2

= 2(n-3)

one of the expression is 2(n-3)

to get another expression we distribute 2 inside the parenthesis

2(n-3) is 2n - 6

so another expression is 2n - 6

two equivalent expression are

2(n - 3)   , 2n - 6
