Answer: 8
because its going up by 8
8+8=16
16+8=24
24+8=32
8,16,24,32
1/2 + 3/4 = 2/4 + 3/4 = 5/4 = 1 1/4
Here I change to the common denominator 4 so I could add them.
We can say L as length and W as the width
L= 3w + 8
The formula for perimeter is 2L + 2W = P. We can substitute L in as "3w+8" to make the equation...
2(3w+8)+2w=88 Now, we can simplify by distributing the 2 to each term
6w+16+2w=88
8w+16=88 Then subtract 16 from each side..
8w=72
w=9
So the width is 9, so we can substitue that into the previous equation, L = 3w+8.
L=3(9)+8
L=27+8
L=35, W=9
