Answer:

The larger number is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the two numbers.

y = 2x + 4

x + y = 28

So x + 2x + 4 = 28

3x = 24

x = 8

y = 20

The perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool is 160 feet . The length of the swimming pool is four times its width. Find the dim

Murrr4er [49]

Formula for Perimeter of Rectangle:

P = 2(L + W)

Plug in 160:

160 = 2(L + W)

L = 4W
So we can plug in '4W' for 'L' in the first equation.
<span>160 = 2(L + W)

160 = 2(4W + W)

Combine like terms:

160 = 2(5W)

160 = 10W

Divide 10 to both sides:

W = 16

Now we can plug this back into any of the two equations to find the length.

L = 4W

L = 4(16)

L = 64

So the width is 16, and the length is 64.</span>
