----------------------------------------------------------------
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

2(x-4)=6x-6

2x-8=6x-6

2x-6x-8=-6

-4x-8=-6

-4x=-6+8

-4x=2

x=2/-4

Please respond to the question below in your own words with proper explanations
ycow [4]

Answer:

t(400)=673.

It means that 673 of 9 inch tiles are required to cover an area of 400 square feet, when spacing the tiles a quarter inch apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The function relating number of 9 inch tiles required and area to cover is:

t(A)=\frac{144}{9.25^2}A

Now, plug in 400 for A to evaluate t(400).

t(400)=\frac{144}{9.25^2}\times 400=\frac{144\times 400}{85.5625}=\frac{57600}{85.5625}=673.19\approx6225

Therefore, Don required  673 of 9 inch tiles to cover an area of 400 square feet, when spacing the tiles a quarter inch apart.
