Answer:
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.
