Answer:
L = the length of the field
W = the width of the field
The First Question:
The system is: L - 12 = w
2L + 2W = 76
Plug in L - 12 for W and you will get
2L + 2L - 24 = 76
4L -24 = 76
4L = 100
L = 25
To find W do L - 12 = w
25 - 12 = w
w = 13
We can simplify this equation and find the value of k.
k ÷ 2 + 1 - 1k = -2k
k ÷ 2 + 1 = -k
k + 1 = -2k
1 = -3k
k = -1/3
Sarah is 14
The twins are 12
The youngest (n) is 7
14+(12+12)+7=45
n=7
