P = 2(L + W)
P = 14
W = L - 5

14 = 2(L + L - 5)
14 = 2(2L - 5)
14 = 4L - 10
14 + 10 = 4L
24 = 4L
24/4 = L
6 = L.......the length is 6 inches

W = L - 5
W = 6 - 5
W = 1 <=== the width is 1 inch

What is the opposite of the number 14​
lidiya [134]

Answer:

The opposite of 14 is -14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposites are numbers with the same distance from 0 but one is to the right of 0 and the other is to the left of 0.

The opposite of 0 is itself,0.

So the opposite of 5 is -5 since both 5 and -5 have the same distance from 0 and one is to the left and one is to the right of 0.

The opposite of 14 is -14 since both have the same distance from 0 and one is to the right and one is to the left of 0.

You can also think of this question as what can I add to 14 that will give me 0.

The answer is -14 since -14+14=0.

Another word for opposites is additive inverses.  When you add additive inverses you get 0.

Another example: What is the opposite of -16?  

The answer is 16 since 16+(-16)=0.
