Formula for perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + W)
let the number be x
width = 2x + 8
length = 3(2x + 8)
substitute respectively
96 = 2 (2x + 8 + 3(2x + 8)) open the bracket
96 = 2 ( 2x + 8 + 6x + 24) collect like terms
96 = 2 (8x + 32) open the bracket
96 = 16x + 64
collect like terms
96 - 64 = 16x
32 = 16x
divide both sides by 16
32/16 = 16x/16
2 = x
therefore, the width = 2x + 8 = 2(2) + 8 = 4 + 8 = 12.
and the length = 3(2x + 8) = 6x + 24 = 6(2) + 24 = 12 + 24 = 36.

FrozenT [24]
Let's start with 17 seats and just bikes. That is 34 wheeles. Now, each bike we replace with a go-kart will add 2(because we take away 2 and add 4). We need to add 14 wheels. This means we will replace 7 bikes with go-karts. 7 go-karts (28 wheels) and 10 bikes (20 wheels) is the answer.

nasty-shy [4]
The answer would be D.
 you would start by choosing one of the variables to eliminate, i chose to eliminate X first. in order to eliminate X, i had to multiply the second equation by -2. X then cancelled out, and i solved for the Y the same way you would a 1 step equation. Y=-4
I then took the first original equations, plugged Y in, and solved for X. X=3.
