Answer:

length = 78 feet

width = 36 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Using one variable and an expression, you can set up an equation equal to the perimeter to find the measure of each side:

width = 'w'

length = '42ft longer than it was wide' = w + 42

The general formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:

P = 2w + 2l

Plugging in the given values and variables:

228 = 2w + 2(w + 42)

Distribute: 228 = 2w + 2w + 84

Combine like terms:  144 = 4w

Divide and solve:  36 = w

w = 36 ft

l = 36 + 42 = 78 ft

Plzzzzzzzzzz help me
Ierofanga [76]

The answer would be the top right graph where none of the lines intersect since it shows that there is no possible real solutions for the system if none of the lines intersect on a certain point.

Remember: If the lines intersect, there is a solution; if the lines do not intersect, there is no solution; if the lines fall on the same line, or the equations are equivalent, then the solution is all real numbers.
