I think the number would be 1.
I think you have to find the value of x and y before u can simplify it.
Let the width of room be =x mtrs
Then the length is x+2 mtrs
As Perimeter = 2(l+b) = 2(x+x+2)
16 = 2 ( 2x+2)
16/2 = 2x +2
8=2x+2
2x= 8-2 = 6
x = 6/2 =3 mtrs
Therefore width of the room is 3 mtrs
Answer:
set the equations equal to each other, the equations are equal. then find value of x
Step-by-step explanation:
5x+17=3x-4

hope this helped boo;p
Answer:
x = 0.666(Repeating)
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+1=5
Subtract 1 from both sides
4x=6
Divide both sides by 4
x = 0.666(Repeating)
