It is 14 because if you have -1/2x + 1 = -x + 8 you would combine the multiplied terms into a single fraction then subtract the one from both sides simplify till you get -x/2 = -x + 7 then you will add like terms so the x’s then you multiply all terms by two like 2(-x/2)= 2•7 then you can get 14. (Sorry if you didn’t need the whole explanation)
To find perimeter, you use this equation for a parallelogram: 2l+2w=p Let’s not put the numbers in, 2(12)+2(8) 24+16 40 So b, 40 yards is how much he walked.
