Answer:

Length = 4 feet

Width = 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle formula = 2L + 2W

Where L = Length

W = Width

The length of a rectangle is 8feet less than the width.

Hence,

L = 8 - W

The perimeter is 64 feet.

Hence,

64 = 2(8 - W) × 2W

64 =( 16 - 2W )2W

64 = -4W² + 32W

4W² - 32W + 64 = 0

Factorise

4W² - 16W - 16W + 64 = 0

4W (W - 4) - 16(W - 4) = 0

W - 4 = 0

W = 4

Width = 4

Solving for L

L = 8 - W

L = 8 - 4

L = 4

Therefore,

Length = 4 feet

Width = 4 feet

Solve each system of equations algebraically <br> 1. y=x+5 y=6 2. y=x+12 y= -18 3. y=x-10 y= -12
OleMash [197]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ky=x+5y 62y=x

Step: Solvey=x+5yfor x:

y=x+5y

y+−x=x+5y+−x(Add -x to both sides)

−x+y=5y

−x+y+−y=5y+−y(Add -y to both sides)

−x=4y et's solve for x.

y=x+12y

Step 1: Flip the equation.

x+12y=y

Step 2: Add -12y to both sides.

x+12y+−12y=y+−12y

x=−11y

Answer:

x=−11y
