Hi there! :)

Find the perimeter by solving for y.
We know that a rectangle contains two pairs of parallel and congruent sides, therefore:
5y - 1 = 2y + 8
We can solve for y using this expression. Begin by subtracting 2y from both sides:
5y - 2y - 1 = 2y - 2y + 8
3y - 1 = 8
Add 1 to both sides:
3y - 1 + 1 = 8 + 1
3y = 9
Divide both sides by 3:
y = 3
Recall that the perimeter of a rectangle is:
P = 2l + 2w
Plug in the given expressions for the side lengths to find one equation:
P = 2(5y - 1) + 2(y - 1)
Simplify by distribution:
P = 10y - 2 + 2y - 2
Combine like terms:
P = 12y - 4
Plug in the solved value of y into this equation:
P = 12(3) - 4
P = 36 - 4
P = 32 cm.
I believe the answer is D
if you fold it all together using the dotted line, it looks that it will all fit together and look like the above shape
hope this helps
I)
8 - 3x = 23
-3x = 15
x = -5
ii)
5x - 16 = 34
5x = 50
x = 10
iii)
2 - 5x = -3
-5x = -5
x = 1
=4m - 17+ 3m - 11
combine like terms
=(4m + 3m) + (-17 - 11)
=7m - 28
This can be factored/simplified by dividing everything by 7
=7(m - 4)
Hope this helps! :)
