Let's use the formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle.
2l+2w=120
We know that the length is twice its width; the equation would be:L=2w
We can plug that in to the formula.
2(2w)+2w=120
4w+2w=120
6w=120
120÷6=20=w
Since the length is twice its width, 20×2=40. The length is 40 cm.
The width is 20 cm.

The opposite of a number is its negated value. So, if you negate 0.2, you get -0.2.
Answer:
14 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start by naming the first number x.
We can name the second number y.
We can set up equations to model our situation.
x+y=2x-8
x-y=2y-4
Let's simplify the equations.
x+y=2x-8
Subtract 2x from both sides
-x+y=-8
__________
x-y=2y-4
Subtract 2y from both sides.
x-3y=-4
Add the two equations together to eliminate x.
x-3y=-4
-x+y=-8
________
0x-2y=-12
-2y=-12
Divide both sides by -2.
y=6
The second number is 6.
Plug that back in.
x+6=2x-8
Subtract x from both sides
6=x-8
Add 8 to both sides
x=14
The first number is 14
