Answer 1

Answer:

The length would be 1.5x + 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

So first with this, note that 2 length + 2 height gives the perimeter of the rectangle.

Given this:

2(1/2x + 4) + 2(?) = 4x+18

x+8 + 2(?) = 4x+18

2(?) = 3x+10

? = 1.5x+5

1.5x + 5 = 1.5x + 5

The length would be 1.5x + 5.

To double check, by plugging in 1.5x + 5 back into the equation for the perimeter, you will get the same perimeter:

2(1.5x + 5) + 2(1/2x+4) = P

3x+10 + x+8 = P

4x + 18 = P
