Question

HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

l = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is

P =2(l+w)

The width is x-6

w = x-6

The length is 8 units longer than the width

l = w+8

l = x-6+8

l = x+2

We can substitute this into the equation for Perimeter, which is given as 40

40 = 2(x+2 + x-6)

Combine like terms

40 =2 (2x-4)

Divide by 2

40/2 = 2/2 (2x-4)

20 = 2x-4

Add 4 to each side

20+4 =2x-4+4

24 = 2x

Divide by 2

24/2 =2x/2

12=x

We want to know the length

l = x+2

l =12+2

l = 14

Answer 2

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the length that you have been given by 2

2: Then, subtract the result from the perimeter.

3: You now have the total length for the remaining 2 sides.

4: Width or height is the number divided by 2.
