The formula for perimeter is P = 2length + 2width (P = 2L + 2W)
You know that the length is 4 more yards then twice the width. In equation form this would be:
length = 4 + 2w
Plug what you know into the perimeter formula:
26 = 2(4 + 2w) + 2w
First you must distribute the 2 to the numbers inside the parentheses, which would be 4 and 2w...
26 = (2 * 4) + (2 * 2w) + 2w
26 = 8 + 4w + 2w
Now you must combine like terms. This means that first numbers with the same variables (w) must be combined...
26 = 8 + 4w + 2w
4w + 2w = 6w
26 = 8 + 6w
Now bring 8 to the left side by subtracting 8 to both sides (what you do on one side you must do to the other). Since 8 is being added on the right side, subtraction (the opposite of addition) will cancel it out (make it zero) from the right side and bring it over to the left side.
26 - 8 = 8 - 8 + 6w
18 = 0 + 6w
18 = 6w
To isolate w divide 6 to both sides
18 / 6 = 6w / 6
w = 3
We know that the width is 3 ft
Now you must find the length. To do this plug 3 where you see w in the equation:
length = 4 + 2w
l = 4 + 2(3)
l = 4 + 6
l = 10
We know that length is 10 ft
Letter B. is the correct answer
Hope this helped!

Let us assume that a person works for 8 hours a day.
Let us assume that the person works for 5 days a week.
Wage earned per hour = $15
So, wage earned in 8 hours = 15*8 = $120
Now, wage earned in 1 day = 120
So, wage earned in 5 days = 120*5 =$600
As the person works for 5 days in 1 week
So, in 50 weeks, he will work = 50*5 = 250 days
So, total number of hours he must have worked = 250*8 =2000 hours
Now, per hour wage = $15
wage in 2000 hours = 15*2000 = $30000
Hence, the estimated wage a person earns in 50 weeks = $30000
The small cup is the better deal, with the medium you get 4 more ounces but pay 15 cents an ounce with the small you pay 14 cents an ounce.
Think the 4 less than but not equal to as a equal sign
step 1. isolate the variable ( variable must stand alone)
step 2. subtract 12n -12n=0
step 3. since you subtract 12n from the left you must do the same to the right.
step 4. 13n - 12n =1n
step 5. the equation should look like this -4 less than but not equal to 1n
step 6. isolate the variable n
step 6. divide 1n/1 on the right and on the left -4/1 it equals -4
so, n is -4

It is indicated in the figure and is valid:
m AB = 49
m ABC
Angle resulting from the following subtraction:
m ABC = 360-107 = 253
m BAC
Angle resulting from the sum of the two angles shown in the figure:
m BAC = 107 + 49 = 156
m ACB
Angle resulting from the following subtraction:
m ACB = 360-49 = 311
