I’m so proud :)!!!! Good job at using your resources
Well first, you need to solve within the parentheses. You would get 23.8 - 14 - 8.6
Then you would subtract them in order, and your answer would be 1.2
Answer:
The correct answer is:

Step-by-step explanation:
By evaluating first, and then the mathematical calculation, we have:

perimeter = 2width + 2 length
102 = 2(x+9) + 2x
102 = 2x + 18 +2x
102 = 4x +18
84 = 4x
21 = x
Length = x = 21 inches
Width = x + 9 = 21 + 9 = 30 inches
