W=x
L=2x+17

Double everything since we need to lengths and two widths to find the perimeter

2x+17+2x+17+x+x = 76
Combine like terms

6x+34=76
Solve for x
First step is subtract 34 from both sides

6x=42
Next you divide both sides by 6 in order to get x by itself

X=7

Now you plug in 7 into the x’s in length and width

W=7 cm
L=31 cm

THE WIDTH IS 31 CM

Check:

7+7+31+31 = 76 cm
It equals 76 cm just like the problem said so therefore it is right.

Answer: Probability of randomly selecting a member who likes to cook or likes to sew = 58%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability of a randomly selecting a member who likes to cook=P(C) = 42%

Probability of a randomly selecting a member who likes to sew =P(S)= 23%

Probability of a randomly selecting a member who likes to both cook and sew

$P(C\cap S)=7\%$
