Parallelogram have 4 sides.
Use the distributive property. 2 multiply the last and negative 4 in the parentheses.
2l + 2(l - 4) = 72 m
Combine Like terms
2l + 2l - 8 = 72 m
4l - 8 = 72 m
Get l all by itself by adding 8 to both sides
4l - 8 = 72 m
+8. +8
Divide both sides by 4
4l = 80
4. 4
l= 20
The width of the parallelogram is four meters less than its length.
4 sides
2 length = 20
2 width = 16
I got 16 by subtracting 4 from 20
Comment if you need any other help :)
5/6, use this method next time another question comes up
X = 23
x - 7
(23) - 7 = 16
16 is your answer
hope this helps
3 (4x + 6) = 21
4x + 6 = 21/3
4x + 6 = 7
4x = 7 - 6
4x = 1
x = 1/4
