Hope this helped you!!
You have to get the ruler i guess sorry i’m not really good at this
<span>length = 7x
</span><span>width = 2x
2(7x + 2x) = 72
7x + 2x = 72/2
9x = 36
x = 36/9
x = 4
</span>
width = 2x = 2 * 4 = 8 units<span>
</span>
1. Distributive Property on the left side
2x-24=5x+9
2. Subtract 9 from the right side and do the same on the left side
2x-33=5x
3. Subtract 2x from both left and right sides
-33=3x
4. Divide 3 from Borge left and right sides
-11=x
Answer: x = -11
