Your answer is, x=1.
Hope this helps.
X = measure of each of the legs
"perimeter is 8 more than 2 times one of the legs" ---> P = 2x+8
P = 28 is the given perimeter
So,
P = 2x+8
28 = 2x+8
2x+8 = 28
2x = 20
x = 10
If x = 10, then the two legs add up to x+x = 10+10 = 20
Leaving P-20 = 28-20 = 8 inches left over for the base
You have the correct answer (choice D, 8 inches) though your steps are a bit confusing at some parts. Such as the part where you wrote 2x = 10 twice. I think I know what you were trying to say.
The answer to this question is A, 12. Hope this helps.
Total the amounts he was over and under:
-3 + 4 -2 = -1
Now add that to the total par:
36 - 1 = 35
His score was a 35
Answer:

<=> 5x = 3y - 8
3y + 10 = 0 or y - 6 = 0
<=> 5x = 3y - 8
y = -10/3 or y = 6
+) with y = -10/3 => 5x = -10 - 8 <=> 5x = -18 <=> x = -3.6
+) with y = 6 => 5x = 3.6 - 10 = 8 <=> x = 8/5 = 1.6
