Let s be Sophie's age. Then joanna is s²+16. Joanna is also 8s, if Sophie is s. So:
s²+16=8s
s²-8s+16=0
(s-4)²=0
s=4
Sophie is 4; Joanna is 32

MissTica

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length = y width = x

y = 3x + 2

Perimeter = Sum of all sides (or sum of both lengths and both widths)

2y + 2x

2(3x + 2) + 2x

6x + 4 + 2x

or factor the expression: =-4/5×(6x+1) Alternate form: -0.8(6x+1). I hope this helps.
