Perimeter= 2w+2l
l=w+5

Substitute for l
p= 2w+2(w+5)
p= 2w+2w+10
p= 4w+10
58=4w+10
48=4w
12= w

Plug in the width to find length.
l= 12+5
l=17

Final answer: Length-17 cm, Width-12 cm

Write two equations:
l + w = 58
l + 5 = w
substitute and solve
l + l + 5 = 58
2l = 53
l=26.5
w=31.5
26.5cm x 31.5cm

Rashid [163]

The Lewis family and the Perry family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Lewis family's sprinkler was 15 L per hour. The water output rate for the Perry family's sprinkler was 40 L per hour. The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 65 hours, resulting in a total water output of 1850 L . How long was each sprinkler used

Answer:

Hours of use of sprinkler by Lewis family is 30 hours.

Hours of use of sprinkler by Perry family is 35 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W = hours of use by Lewis family

65 - W = hours of use by Perry family

Then;

15W + 40*(65 - W) = 1850

15W + 2600 - 40W = 1850

(15 - 40)W = 1850 - 2600

-25W = −750

W = 750/25 = 30

Therefore;

W = 30

65 - W = 65 - 30 = 35

Hence,

Hours of use by Lewis family is 30 hours.

Hours of use by Perry family is 35 hours.
