Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
a-8=24
clt
a=24+8
a=32
If the width is 2p then the width of both sides is 4p. Subtract that from the total perimeter and you get 16p-4p= 12p. Divide that by two because there are 2 side lengths. So, one side length is 6p.
How to solve with elimination: with the equations on the top, add the number on top and bottom if they share a variable such as x. do the rest for all of the numbers.
