Answer:

Hence, the number is 5

Width=15 ft

Length=33 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Hence,

Width= 3x

Length = 8+5x

As we know that perimeter of a rectangle = 2( Length + Width)

Hence,

2(3x + 8 + 5x) = 96  \\ 2(8x + 8) = 96 \\ 8x + 8 = 48 \\ 8(x + 1) = 48 \\ x + 1 = 6 \\ x = 5

Hence,

Width=15 ft

Length= 33 ft

Solve for x: 4(x-2)+6=2(5x-6)
Katarina [22]

4(x - 2) + 6 = 2(5x - 6)     <em>use distributive property</em>

(4)(x) + (4)(-2) + 6 = (2)(5x) + (2)(-6)

4x - 8 + 6 = 10x - 12

4x - 2 = 10x - 12       <em>add 2 to both sides</em>

4x = 10x - 10       <em>subtract 10 from both sides</em>

-6x = -10      <em>divide both sides by (-6)</em>

x = 10/6

<h3>x = 5/3</h3>
