2 x (L + W) = Perimeter

2(L + 16) = 80 Then divide both sides by 2

L + 16 = 40 Then subtract 16 from both sides

L = 24 feet

4(3x+5)= -4

NeX [460]

Answer/explanation

4(3x+5)=-4

You will distribute the four to every term in the parenthesis,

12x+20=-4

Then you will combine like terms

12x+20=-4

-20 -20

12x=-24

Then you will divide 12 to isolate x

$\frac{12x}{-24} =\frac{-24}{-24}$

Obviously, -24 cancels out and you would get x=-2
