Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Family.
X = measure of each of the legs
"perimeter is 8 more than 2 times one of the legs" ---> P = 2x+8
P = 28 is the given perimeter
So,
P = 2x+8
28 = 2x+8
2x+8 = 28
2x = 20
x = 10
If x = 10, then the two legs add up to x+x = 10+10 = 20
Leaving P-20 = 28-20 = 8 inches left over for the base
You have the correct answer (choice D, 8 inches) though your steps are a bit confusing at some parts. Such as the part where you wrote 2x = 10 twice. I think I know what you were trying to say.

Part a.
<span>The perimeter formula is: </span>
P = 2w + 2LYour answer for part A is
P = 2w + 2LPart b.
They tell us in part b, that:
w = 6L + 20
Substitute that into what we got for part a.
P = 2(6L + 20) + 2L
P = 12L + 40 + 2L
P = 14L + 40Your answer for partb is
P = 14L + 40Part c.
So we take what we got from part b, and solve for L.
P = 14L + 40
14L = P - 40

That is your answer for part 3 ^
part d.
Plug in w = 32 into what we first got in part b.
w = 6L + 20
32 = 6L + 20
6L = 12
L = 2Your answer for part d is
L = 2<span>:D</span>
