The pattern is subtracting 9
----------------------------------
Define x :
----------------------------------
Let the width be x.
Width = x
Length = 2x + 5 // Length is 5ft longer than twice the width
----------------------------------
Formula for Perimeter :
----------------------------------
Perimeter = 2 (Length + Width)
----------------------------------
Find Width :
----------------------------------
58 = 2 ( 2x + 5 + x) // Substitute Length and Width into formula
58 = 2 (3x + 5) // Combine like terms
58 = 6x + 10 // Apply distributive property
48 = 6x // Take away 10 from both sides
6x = 48 // Switch sides. Make x the subject
x = 8 // Divide by 6 on both sides
----------------------------------
Find Length and Width :
----------------------------------
Width = x = 8 ft
Length = 2x + 5 = 2(8) + 5 = 21 ft
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The length is 21 ft and the width is 8 ft.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3(m-2)+2(m-2)
3m-6+2m-4
3m+2m-6-4
5m-6-4
5m-10
The expressions 3(m-2)+2(m-2) and 50m-2 are not equivalent expressions.
After simplifying the first expression 3(m-2)+2(m-2) in part (a), we got 5m-10, which is different from the second expression, 50m-2.
Answer:
x=38
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x+5)=(3x-33)
2x-3x=-33-5
-x=-38
x=38
