Answer:
L - W = 2 and 2L + 2W = 68
Step-by-step explanation:
The two equations here are going to be-
Length minus width equals 2
L - W = 2
And
Length x 2 + Width x 2 = 68
2L + 2W = 68
Since both of the numbers have a variable which is x ready to be multiplied, there is no expression leading to the variable therefore you will add normally but you will need to put the missing variable which needs to be multiplied. So overall you can just add and once you get your variable you can be abe to multiply and get your final answer.
Hope this helps
Oh I get this.
So what you have to do is leave the same denominator and just count. Once a fraction has the same numerator and denominator that means it is a whole number.
a) x=4
10+2x+6=24
-2x. -2x
10+6=-2x+24
-24. -24
10+6-24=-2x
simplify
-8=-2x
divide both sides by -2
4=x
2. x=7
14+3x+5=40
-3x. -3x
14+5=40-3x
-40. -40
14+5-40=-3x
-21=-3x
divide both side by -3
7=x
