Take the length as 'x'
Width = 2x - 2
Perimeter = 44 [ Formula = 2(l + w) ]
2 (l + w) = 44
2 (x + 2x - 2) = 44
2 (3x - 2) = 44
6x - 4 = 44
6x = 44 + 4
6x = 48
x = 48/6
<u>x </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>8</u> => length
Width = 2x - 2 = 2(8) - 2 = <u>1</u><u>4</u><u> </u><u>units.</u>
Hope it helps!

Answer:
x<−3
Step-by-step explanation:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assumptions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let x be the amount of 25% orange juice
Let y be the amount of 10% orange juice
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are 15 litres of 13% orange juice
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 15
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 15 litres of juice is 13% orange juice
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.25x + 0.1y = 15 x 0.13
0.25x + 0.1y = 1.95
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rewrite the equations and solve for x and y
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 15 ----------------------- (Equation 1)
0.25x + 0.1y = 1.95 ----------- (Equation 2)
(Equation 1):
x + y = 15
x = 15 - y ----------- (Substitute into Equation 2)
0.25 (15 - y) + 0.1y = 1.95
3.75 - 0.25y + 0.1y = 1.95
0.15y = 1.8
y = 18 ÷ 0.15
y = 12 ------------- (substitute into Equation 1)
x + y = 15
x + 12 = 15
x = 15 - 12
x = 3
x = 3 and y = 12
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 3 liters of 25% of orange juice with 12 liters of 10% orange juice
