Because you can add/subtract the wrong numbers/place values
Let x = width
<span>length is 8 cm more than three times it’s width so length = 3x + 8
</span>
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + W)
so
128 = 2(x + 3x + 8) solve for x (width)
128 = 2(4x + 8)
64 = 4x + 8
4x = 56
x = 14
width = 14 cm
length = 3(14) + 8 = 50 cm
Answer:
width = 14 cm
length = 50 cm
Answer:
x = 19, y = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 14 => x= 14-y
2x + 4y = 18 => 2(x+2y)=18 => x+2y=9
x+2y=9 => (14 - y) + 2y = 9
14 + y = 9 => y = -5
x + (-5) = 14 => x=19
