P = 2(L + W)
P = 22
L = 2W + 2

22 = 2(2W + 2 + W)
22 = 2(3W + 2)
22 = 6W + 4
22 - 4 = 6W
18 = 6W
18/6 = W
3 = W.....this is the width

L = 2W + 2
L = 2(3) + 2
L = 6 + 2
L = 8 meters <=== this is the length

P=2(l+w)
P= perimeter= 22m
l=length= (2w+2)
w=width

Step 1:
Solve for w
substitute l=(2w+2) in equation

22=2[(2w+2)+w]
combine like terms inside parentheses

22=2(3w+2)
use distributive property to multiply 2 by everything inside parentheses

22=(2*3w) + (2*2)
22=6w+4
subtract 4 from both sides
18=6w
divide both sides by 6
3 meters=w= width

Step 2:
Solve for length by substituting w=3

22=2(l+w)
22=2(l+3)
22=(2*l) + (2*3)
22=2l+6
16=2l
8 meters = l= length

Check:
22=2(l+w)
22=2(8+3)
22=2(11)
22=22

Hope this helps! :)

26) Hailey is 3 times as old as Maverick.
Dahasolnce [82]

Let H = Hailey's age and M = Maverick

Hailey is 3 times as old as Maverick: H = 3M

The sum of their ages is 48 years: H + M = 48

Since H = 3M, substitute 3M in place of H in the second equation:

H + M = 48

3M + M = 48

4M = 48

M = 12

Maverick is 12 years old. Hailey = 3M = 3(12) = 36 years old.

If two boxes of cereal and a jug of milk cost $8.50, and three boxes of cereal and two jugs of milk cost $14.00, how much does a
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

$3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the cost of a box of cereal and let m represent the cost of a jug of milk.

Create a system of equations:

2c + m = 8.5

3c + 2m = 14

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -2:

-4c - 2m = -17

3c + 2m = 14

Add them together and solve for c:

-c = -3

c = 3

So, a box of cereal costs $3
