If width is w the length can be represented as 5/2+2w.
Formula for perimeter is 2l + 2w
So it would be 2w + 2(5/2 + 2w)
OR 2w + 5 + 4w
OR 6w + 5
See if this helps ;)
-3x+13=16
Move +13 to the other side. Sign changes from +13 to -13.
-3x+13-13=16-13
-3x=16-13
-3x=3
Divide by -3 for both sides.
-3/-3x=3/-3
Cross out -3 and -3, divide by -3, then becomes 1*1*x=x
x=-1
Answer: x=-1
Answer:
$69.60
Step-by-step explanation:
20% of $58 is $11.60. So you add $11.60 + 58 which equals $69.60, so that is the total cost.

so if x = -1, let's plug that in the second equation
-5(-1)+y = 5
5+y = 5
y = 0
