All you need to do is divide 96 by 8 and you get 12 as your answer
To solve problems like this you can either graph or solve mathematically. To do the ladder we need to solve for one variable at a time. So lets cancel one variable out.
Multiply equation 1 by 2
This will give 4x-2y=14
Now we can get rid of y by subtracting 2 from 1
This will give x=9
Plug back in to either equation, i will use equation 2
3(9)-2y=5 simplify
-2y=-22 solve
Y=11
Add up all of the side lengths and you get 148.4 as the perimeter.
subtract that from 150 and you're left with 1.6 m left of tape
Answer:
I dont know what that, but I think Its 3
