Question

PLS HELP The perimeter of the rectangle below is 162 ft. T= ft.

Answer 1

It’s 108t because if you combine like terms then multiple then you get 108t :)

Answer 2

we are given

length =l=7t+1

width =w=5t+8

now, we can use

perimeter of rectangle formula

$perimeter=2(l+w)$

we can plug l and w

$perimeter=2(7t+1+5t+8)$

now, we are given

perimeter=162

so, we can set it equal

$162=2(7t+1+5t+8)$

now, we can solve for t

$162=2(12t+9)$

we can isolate t on anyone side

$162=2*12t+2*9$

$162=24t+18$

$24t=144$

$t=6$

so,

$t=6ft$...............Answer
