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

Evaluate. 102+6⋅7+8 70142150190
Aloiza [94]
Hi.

102+6(7)+8  (your equation)
102+ 42+ 8  (since the order is PEMDAS, multiplication has to go first. 6x7=42
144 + 8        (since you go left to right, 102 +42 has to be 1st. Answer= 144)
152              (now the only thing left is 144 + 8, so do that. Answer= 152.)

Since that's the last step, 152 will be your answer. 

Hoped I helped and if you need anymore you could always ask me~

A system of equations is given below:
DaniilM [7]
You have the value for y, so you substitute that equation for y, times three because there are three yS.

So you have: 2x + 3y = 10

2x + 3 x 2x + 4 or 2x + 3(3x + 4)

so the answer would be B, 2x + 3(3x + 4)
