Answer:

VW = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>See attachment for complete question</em>

Given

VY = 4x - 1

VW = 5x + 3

Perimeter = 112

Required

Determine the length of VW

Perimeter is calculated as:

Perimeter = 2 * (Width + Length)

This gives:

Perimeter = 2 * (VW + VY)

Substitute values for VW, VY and Perimeter

112 =  2 * (4x - 1 + 5x + 3)

Collect Like Terms

112 = 2 * (4x + 5x -1 +3)

112 = 2 * (9x +2)

Divide through by 2

56 = 9x + 2

Collect Like Terms

9x = 56 - 2

9x = 54

x = 54/9

x = 6

Substitute 6 for x in VW = 5x + 3

VW = 5 * 6 + 3

VW = 30 + 3

VW = 33
