I'm really sorry, but I have no idea how this works, or what the answer is. SORRY!!
I think the constant variation is -2 (8÷-4)
Answer:
length = 32m, width= 16m
Step-by-step explanation:
l=2w
2(2w+w)=96
2(3w)=96
6w=96,w= 96/6 = 16m
l=2w=2x16=32m
12 - x = 20 - 5x
You see that -x and -5x both have an 'x' variable? This means they are 'like' terms. To get -x to the other side, we must add (if like terms are on opposite sides, do the opposite of what the sign says, e.g. - will be +)
12 = 20 - 4x
Now move 20 to the other side. Remember, do the opposite! Since 20 is positive, we must minus 20 to the other side.
-8 = -4x
To get x by itself, you will need to get rid of the coefficient of -4. -4x basically means -4 times x, so the opposite of that would be divide! Divide by -4
2 = x (Since both sides have a negative, they cancel out to give a positive)
x = 2
