----------------------------------------------------------------
Define x and y:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Let the length be x.
Let the width be y.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Formula:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Construct equations and solve for x and y:
----------------------------------------------------------------
2x + 2y = 56            ---------------------- (1)
2(x+8) + 4y = 82     -----------------------(2)

----------------------------------------------------------------
From equation 1:
----------------------------------------------------------------
2x + 2y = 56
x + y = 28
x = 28 - y

----------------------------------------------------------------
From equation 2:
----------------------------------------------------------------
2(x+8) + 4y = 82 
2x + 16 + 4y = 82
2x + 4y = 66
x + 2y = 33

----------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 28 - y into equation 2:
----------------------------------------------------------------
x + 2y = 33
(28 - y) + 2y = 33
28 - y + 2y = 33
y = 5

----------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 5 into equation 1:
----------------------------------------------------------------
x = 28 - y 
x = 28 - 5
x = 23

----------------------------------------------------------------
Find Length and Width
----------------------------------------------------------------
Length = x = 23 m
Width = y = 5m

----------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Length = 23m and Width = 5m

HELPPPPPPPPP 55 POINTS Isabel graphed the following system of equations.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

1.  Substitute y = -3x +4 for y in the first equation

2.  Combine like terms and isolate x

3.  Substitute in x into the 2nd equation to get y

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  Substitute y = -3x +4 for y in the first equation

2x- (-3x+4) = 6

2.  Combine like terms

5x -4 = 6

5x -4 +4 = 6+4

5x=10  Divide by 5 to isolate x

5x/5 =10/5

x=2

3. Substitute in x into the 2nd equation to get y

y = -3x +4

y = -3(2) +4

y = -6+4

y=-2

(2,-2)

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The number of people in a waiting line is a quantitative data as we can count them.

Consider the provided information.

The value of quantitative data can be determined by counting or measuring something.

Now consider the provided options.

The player’s number on a baseball uniform, the serial number on a one-dollar bill and the part number of an inventory item is not a quantitative data because we can't  measure them.

The number of people in a waiting line is a quantitative data as we can count them.
