L = X
w = X - 8
P = 52 cm
P = 2l + 2w
52 = 2(X) + 2(X - 8)
52 = 2x + 2x - 16
52 + 16 = 4x
68 = 4x
68/4 = 4x/4
17 = X.
The length of the rectangle is 17 cm.
W = X - 8
W = 17 - 8
W = 9 cm.
The width of the rectangle is 9 cm.
Answer:
We can conclude that the setting is stationed somewhere in the north where it's very cold, so cold that they can use sled dogs. We can also assume it's winter time because it normally snows during the winter.
So the setting is in the north where it is cold, during the winter time.
8(v−4)+7v=−2
(8)(v)+(8)(−4)+7v=−2
8v+−32+7v=−2
(8v+7v)+(−32)=−2
15v+−32=−2
15v−32=−2
Add 32 to both sides.
15v−32+32=−2+32
15v=30
Divide both sides by 15.
15v/15=30/15
v = 2
