P= 2w+2L= 2w+2(w+5)
P= 4w+10= 42 => w= 32/4 then w= 8in and L= 13in
Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Given
l = w+5
p = 42
...
Known
p = 2l+2w
...
Substitute l into the equation for p
42 = 2(w+5) + 2w
Distribute the 2
42 = 2w+ 10 + 2w
Combine like terms
42 = 4w + 10
Isolate w
4w = 32
Divide both sides by 4
w = 8 in
l = 8+5=13 in
...
