w + 4

l l

Perimeter would be the sum of all the sides so: (w+4) + w + (w+4) + w
Perimeter is 60 yards according to your problem so: (w+4) + w + (w+4) + w = 60 yds
1.Simplify/combine like terms:
w + 4 + w + w + 4 + w =
4w + 8 =
Now it's a 2-step algebra equation
4w + 8 = 60
2.Subtract 8 on both sides
4w = 56
3.Divide both sides by 4
w = 14
Because 0.09 is ten times as big as 0.009
Solving for "K" , got it! :)
I'll make it easier to solve
(k)4+3-14=?
? = 0
4(k)-11 = 0
Take off the '0' and the addition symbol so we can add from 11 on your sides
4(k) - 11
+11 +11
---- ----
15k. 22
⬆ This would be your answer for k
4(k) = 11
÷4 ÷4
--- ----
1K ?
K = 11/4 (for fraction)
K = 2.75 (as a decimal)
