Answer:
x = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute on both sides
combine constants
combine variables
then divide
Let the length be 8x and the width = 5x, then
Perimeter = 2(length + width) = 2(8x + 5x) = 2(13x) = 26x
338 = 26x
x = 338/26 = 13
Therefore, length = 8x = 8 x 13 = 104
Pounds is the correct unit of measure
For this case we must simplify the following expression:
We eliminate the parentheses taking into account that:

So:

We add similar terms taking into account that:
Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed.
Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.
