Answer:

• y = 12 -x
• 0 ≤ y ≤ 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by ...

  P = 2(L +W) . . . . . where L and W represent the length and width

Filling in the given values, we have ...

  24 = 2(y +x)

Solving for y, we get ...

  12 = y + x . . . . . divide by 2

  y = 12 -x . . . . . . subtract x

The length y is the difference between 12 and the width x.

__

We want both x and y to be non-negative, so possible values of y range from 0 to 12.
