Question

Help me please ASAP

Answer 1

Perimeter is 24.

Length is 4 greater than the width.

Let's use 'x' for width

we can write this as x+4   +   x+4    +    x    +    x

x+4 being the width+4     and    x being the width

There are 4 sides to a rectangle so you are adding 4 values

Two length and two widths

so  we can then combine  the two lengths to make 2x+8

and then combine the two widths to make 2x

Then put it together.       2x+2x+8= 4x+8

4x+8=24

Subtract 8 from both sides

4x=16

divide both sides by 4

x=4

The width is 4.
