Answer:

Width = 20 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 86 inches

Width = W

Length = 3 + W

Use the formula 2L + 2W = P to solve

Substitute new value for length (3 + w) into the formula

2(3 + W) + 2W = P

Change perimeter into the equation to 86 inches (Given)

2(3 + W) + 2W = 86

Multiply

6 + 2W + 2W = 86

Add the W's

6 + 4W = 86

Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation

4W = 80

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

W = 20 inches

Hope this helps :)

8x+5y=35 solve for y no work needed but you can show me the work if you want i will still look at it thank you in advance
solong [7]

Answer:

y=7-(8/5)x

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for y we need to get Y on one side of the equation all by itself.  To start we can move the 8x to the side with the 35 by subtracting 8x on both sides which gets us to 5y=35-8x then we just need to get the 5 detached from the y and we will have solved for Y.  To do this we can divide by 5 on both sides to cancel out the 5 with the Y which leaves us with y=7-(8/5)x

I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything still unclear!
