Answer:
i think
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
Let the width of the rectangle be = x inches
As given, the length of a rectangle is 3 more inches than the width so let the length of the rectangle be = x+3 inches
Perimeter is given as = 54 inches
Perimeter = 
Equation becomes:
=54

Part B:
Solving the equation we get




Hence, the width of the rectangle is 12 inches
Length = x+3 = 12+3 = 15 inches
Hence, length of the rectangle is 15 inches.

Let Gavin be G
Let Seiji be S
G + S = 425
G = 25 + S
I can't really graph, but plug in some numbers to G and S that works in BOTH equations. Then graph it.
G + S = 425
G = 25 + S
(25 + S) + S = 425
2S + 25 = 425
2S + 25 (-25) = 425 (-25)
2S = 400
2S/2 = 400/2
S = 200
Seiji made 200 dollars
Now choose one of the equations to use (the easier the better) in this case i will choose this one:
G = 25 + S
pug in 200 into S (because that is how much Seiji made)
G = 25 + (200)
G = 225
Seiji made 200, Gavin made 225
200 + 225 = 425, which is the total amount the made
hope this helps
