A rug maker is using a pattern that is a rectangle with a length of 96 inches and a width of 60 inches. The rug maker wants to increase each dimension by a different amount. Let l and w be the increases in the length and width. Write and simplify an expression for the perimeter of the new pattern.
p=2(96+l)+2(60+w)
This is the equation. p is for perimeter. (96+l) represents the original length plus the change in length. The 2 before (96+l) represents that there is one length on each side of the rectangle.
Same for the width. (60+w) represents the original width plus the change in width. The 2 before (60+w) represents that there is one width on each side of the rectangle.
The simplified equation is p=(192+2l)+(120+2w) (this is your answer)
I hope this helps!
The answer is 42.
The question is asking for angle N. We know from the question that angle N is equal to angle E (Don't think about the scale factor because it only applies to the sides. They're just trying to trick you).
To find angle E:

Move numbers to the right side:

Combine like terms:

Divide both sides by 13:

The formula for angle E:

Plug in the 8:

The angle measure of E is 42. So angle N is automatically 42 too.
To solidify, we can try to use the formula which they give us for angle N:
6x - 2x = 16
4x = 16 |divide both sides by 4
<h3>x = 4</h3>
