Answer:

The length is 28 and the width is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can make the width as x.

Since the length is 5 less than 3 times the width, it's going to be 3x - 5

So now we've got the length and width, just need to find the perimeter, which is all the sides added up together. They already gave us the perimeter, so we just have to solve the equation:

2(3x - 5) + 2x = 78

6x - 10 + 2x = 78

8x - 10 = 78

8x = 88

x = 11

x = 11, but remember, x is the width, not the length. Since we already found what x is, we just have to plug it into the equation of:

3x - 5

3 × 11 - 5

33 - 5 = 28

Answer: Length = 28 (don't forget to add the unit if there is one)

I don’t understand can someone please explain how to work this out and what the answer is
joja [24]

When you see an equation with parenthesis around it, you can use this:

Parenthesis

Exponents

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

Otherwise known as PEMDAS.

We can see that in the equation, there are parenthesis, so we can open those. We open parenthesis by taking the number right next to the parenthesis (or outside the parenthesis) and we multiply that number by everything inside. So this is what it would look like:

-2x^2 - 10x + 8

See how the signs changed? This rule only applies when you multiply something, but here is how I think of it:

+ and + always equals +.

- and - always equals +.

- and + always equals -.

+ and - always equals -.

So that's it! Just to be clear, the answer is:

-2x^2 - 10x + 8

Hope I helped, sorry if I'm wrong!
