Width = W
Length = 12W - 1
Perimeter = 2L + 2W = 37
In the perimeter equation substitute the length equation in for L to get the equation in terms of W
2L + 2W = 37
2(12W - 1) + 2w = 37
Distribute
2(12W - 1) + 2w = 37
24W - 2 + 2w = 37
26W = 39
W = 3/2 = 1.5
Width = 1.5
Lastly, solve for length
L = 12W - 1
L = (12 • 1.5) - 1
L = 18 - 1
L = 17
Length = 17
Answer:
first method
subtract 5 from both side
2x + 5 -5 = 12 - 5
:. 2x = 7
:. X= 2
7
divide 2 from both side
X= 2x 7
2 2
:. X= 3.5
second method
2x = 12 - 5
2x = 7
X= 2 ÷ 7
:. X= 3.5
Its b= -0.2 or b= 1/-5 whichever one works best
There are 3 degrees
