Answer:

length = 22

width = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula

P =2(l+w)

we know the length is x

width is x-9

P =70

Substituting this into the equation

70 = 2(x+x-9)

Combining like terms

70=2(2x-9)

Distributing the 2

70 = 4x-18

Adding 18 to each side

70+18 = 4x-18+18

88 = 4x

Divide by 4

88/4 = 4x/4

22= x

we know the length is x

length = 22

width is x-9

width = 22-9= 13

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: 50 square yards

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Kevin wants to cover a rectangular floor that is 15 feet by 30 feet with carpeting.

The first thing to do is to convert the measurement that were given to yards. We should note that 1 yard = 3 feet

15 feet = 15/3 = 5 yards

30 feet = 30/3 = 10 yards

Area = 5 × 10 = 50 square yards
