The fraction he added is 6/30, or 1/5.
I'm not 100% sure about the equation you want me to use but I did the work this way:
5/6+x/30=31/30 (the denominator has to equal 30 because you are adding. You need a common denominator which is why you need to change 5/6. We can label the numerator as a hidden value x)
25/30+x=31/30
You can then work backwards and basically subtract 25 from 31 and get 6; so x=6
Let x be the initial width, then the initial length is x+20.
<span>If Elise decreases this length by 8 feet, she will get the new length x+20-8=x+12.
</span>
If Elise increases the width by 10 feet, <span>she will get the new width x+10.
</span><span>
</span><span>The new perimeter will be x+12+x+12+x+10+x+10=4x+44=172, 4x=172-44, 4x=128, x=128÷4, x=32.
</span><span>
</span><span>The initial width is 32 ft and the initial length is 32+20=52 ft.
</span><span>
</span><span>The new width will be 32+10=42 ft, the new length will be 32+12=44 ft.
