Perimeter = 2L + 2W = 256

"8 feet longer than it is wide"
translates to
L = 8 + W

we plug that into the first equation and get
2(8 + W) + 2W = 256
now we solve for W

distribute the 2
16 + 2W + 2W = 256

add like terms
16 + 4W = 256

subtract 16 from both sides
4W = 240

divide both sides by 4
W = 60

plug that into
L = 8 + W
and solve for L now

L = 8 + 60
so
L = 68

therefore your
length = 68
and
width = 60

13+x+195=13(x+15)...
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
First, let's expand the right side.  Now our equation is

13+x+195=13x+195

Now, we gather all the terms with x in it on the left side, and the numbers without x on the right.  We get:

-12x=-13

And then we can make this

12x=13

We divide both sides by 12 to get x on its own, so x = 13/12 or 1.08
