Step-by-step explanation:

Length = L

Width = W

L=8 more than 2W

L = 8 * 2W

L = 16W

Perimeter = 96

perimeter is the lengths of all sides added together

2L + 2W = 96

we have

L = 16W

2L + 2W = 96

let's do substitution

put what L = into 2L + 2W = 96

2(16W) + 2W = 96

can you rearrange that to get w

Algebra I

Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
Solving systems of equations by graphing

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define systems

y = x + 1

y = 1/2x + 3

Step 2: Solve for x

Substitute in y: x + 1 = 1/2x + 3
Subtract 1/2x on both sides: 1/2x + 1 = 3
Subtract 1 on both sides: 1/2x = 2
Divide both sides by 1/2: x = 4

Step 3: Solve for y

Define original equation: y = x + 1
Substitute in x: y = 4 + 1
Add: y = 5

Step 4: Graph

We can confirm our answer.

a square sandbox has an area of 42 squareft what is the approximate perimeter of the sandbox to the nearest hundredth

Ugo [173]

The area of a square is its side length squared. So the side length of the square squared is 42, so the side length of the square is sqrt(42). The perimeter of the square is 4 times the side length, or 4sqrt(42), which is approximately 25.92.
