Answer:

l = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is

P =2(l+w)

The width is x-6

w = x-6

The length is 8 units longer than the width

l = w+8

l = x-6+8

l = x+2

We can substitute this into the equation for Perimeter, which is given as 40

40 = 2(x+2 + x-6)

Combine like terms

40 =2 (2x-4)

Divide by 2

40/2 = 2/2 (2x-4)

20 = 2x-4

Add 4 to each side

20+4 =2x-4+4

24 = 2x

Divide by 2

24/2 =2x/2

12=x

We want to know the length

l = x+2

l =12+2

l = 14

Find the sum of 2.5+3.03
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: 5.53


Step-by-step explanation:

this is a straight forward addition

2.5+3.03 =5.53

to be clear or to specify, use the decimal point to make the sum:

2.5 = 2 + 0.5       and 3.03 = 3 + 0.03

2+3= 5      and  0.5 + 0.03 = 0.53

5 + 0.53 = 5.53 (but this is to long just to make it clear)
