Answer:

3 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the storage room is a rectangle, like most rooms, no indication it is otherwise.

We know it's a rectangle and not a square because it is longer than wide.

We have the perimeter measurement (16 meters).

So, we can make the following equation:

2x + 2y = 16

x being the width of the room, y being it's length.  A perimeter is the sum of all sides.

We also know the room is 2 meters longer than wide... so:

y = x + 2

If we replace y in the first equation by its value relative to x, we get:

2x + 2(x + 2) = 16 which becomes

2x + 2x + 4 = 16

4x =12

thus x = 3

Width: 3 meters

Length: 5 meters.

Confirms the 16 meters perimeter.

<u>Answer:</u>

Width = 3 meters

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given that for an equipment storage room, it is 2 meters longer than its width and the perimeter of this room is 16 meters.

Given the above information, we are to find the width of the room.

Perimeter = 2l+2w

Supposing x to be the width and x+2 to the length, we can write it as:

16=2(x)+2(x+2)

16=2x+2x+4

12=4x

x=\frac{12}{4}

x = 3

Therefore, the width = 3 meters.

noname [10]

Answer:

6 + 2=8 \\so... +2 + +6 = +8\\

Step-by-step explanation:

So the thing about adding of integers is that is both nos. are positive then you can simply add it and same with negative too.But with negative and positive we should subtract but that is for later.Luckily we have 2 positive integers so we do it like this:

+6 is the same as 6 and +2 is the same as 2 so we...

  rule:add the numbers and add the sign.

6 + 2=8\\so... +2 + +6 = +8
