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

Solve for all values of c in simplest form.<br> 43=[c+21]​
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

If those are absolute value lines: 22 and -64

Step-by-step explanation:

43 = | c + 21 | is an absolute value equation, meaning it has two answers.

To get the first you keep 43 positive and remove the absolute values and solve normally: 43 = c + 21 -> 43 - 21 = c -> c = 22.

To get the second you make 43 negative and remove the absolute values then solve: -43 = c + 21 -> -43 - 21 = c -> c = -64

43 = 22 + 21 -> 43 = 43

43 = -64 + 21 -> 43 = 43
