Answer:

x=larger no

y= smaller no

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=7--------(1)

x=16 + 2y------(2)

(2)--->(1)

16+2y+y = 7

3y + 16 = 7

3y = -9

y = -3//

so x=10

the perimeter of a rectangle is 56 m. if the width were doubled and the length were increased by 8 m, then the perimeter would b

Natasha2012 [34]

----------------------------------------------------------------
Define x and y:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Let the length be x.
Let the width be y.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Formula:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Construct equations and solve for x and y:
----------------------------------------------------------------
2x + 2y = 56 ---------------------- (1)
2(x+8) + 4y = 82 -----------------------(2)

----------------------------------------------------------------
From equation 1:
----------------------------------------------------------------
2x + 2y = 56
x + y = 28
x = 28 - y

----------------------------------------------------------------
From equation 2:
----------------------------------------------------------------
2(x+8) + 4y = 82
2x + 16 + 4y = 82
2x + 4y = 66
x + 2y = 33

----------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 28 - y into equation 2:
----------------------------------------------------------------
x + 2y = 33
(28 - y) + 2y = 33
28 - y + 2y = 33
y = 5

----------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 5 into equation 1:
----------------------------------------------------------------
x = 28 - y
x = 28 - 5
x = 23

----------------------------------------------------------------
Find Length and Width
----------------------------------------------------------------
Length = x = 23 m
Width = y = 5m

----------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Length = 23m and Width = 5m
----------------------------------------------------------------
