Permitter question!! giving points!!

Answer 1

Answer:

2L + 2W = 88

L = W + 12

L = 28 feet & W = 16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

2L + 2W = 88

[] The perimeter of a rectangle is length + length + width + width, shortned as 2(legnth) + 2(width) and since the perimeter of the garden is 88, this option works.

L = W + 12

[] The length is 12 feet longer than the width, so the width + 12 will equal the length

Solving:

{ 2L + 2W = 88

{ L = W + 12

[Plug-in] 2(W + 12) + 2W = 88

[Distribute] 2W + 24 + 2W = 88

[Combine like terms] 4W + 24 = 88

[Subtract 24 from both sides] 4W = 64

[Divide both sides by 4] W = 16

L = W + 12 -> L = (16) + 12 -> L = 28
