Answer:

W = 7 - x

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is P= 2L + 2×W , where L is the length and W is the width.

If L = (x+2) , replacing L with the expression x+2 we have

P= 2×(X+2) + 2W ⇔ 18 = 2x + 4 + 2W ⇔ 2W =18 - 2x - 4 ⇔ 2W = 14 - 2x

⇔ W = 7 - x

A first number plus twice a second number is 14. Twice the first number plus the second totals 10. Find the numbers.
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

first number(x) = 2 second number(y)= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an example of a simultaneous equation.

First write this word problem as equations, where x is the "first number" that you've mentioned and y is the "second number".

x + 2y = 14  (equation 1)

2x + y = 10  (equation 2)

This is solved using the elimination method.

We need to make one of the coefficients the same - in this case we can make y the same. In order to do this we need to multiply equation 2 by 2, so that y becomes 2y.

2x + y = 10 MULTIPLY BY 2

4x + 2y = 20 (this is now our new equation 2 with the same y coefficient)

Now subtract equation 1 from equation 2.

4x - x + 2y - 2y = 20 - 14  (2y cancels out here)

3x = 6

x = 2

Now we substitute our x value into equation 1 to find the value of y.

2 + 2y = 14

2y = 12

y = 6

Hope this has answered your question.
