(4*3)+-4=8, this is just how to put it in the equation
He’s right For the answer
perimeter = 2L +2W
the problem states the length ( L) is 2 meters longer then width, so L = w+2
so perimeter =2(w+2) +2w
24 = 2(w+2) +2w
24 = 2w+4 +2w
24 = 4w+4
20=4w
w=20/4 = 5
X = pens and y = pencils
4x + 7y = 13.25
y = 0.75
4x + 7(0.75) = 13.25
4x + 5.25 = 13.25
4x = 13.25 - 5.25
4x = 8
x = 8/4
x = 2 <===so each pen cost 2 bucks
