Algebra.Com's Answer #454487 by Cromlix(4381)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perimeter = 2x length + 2 x width \n" ); document.write( " =2(x + 8) + 2x \n" ); document.write( " = 2x + 16 + 2x \n" ); document.write( " = 4x + 16 = 96 \n" ); document.write( " = 4x = 80 \n" ); document.write( " = x = 20 \n" ); document.write( "Therefore length = 28 feet \n" ); document.write( " width = 20 feet \n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2(28) + 2(20) \n" ); document.write( " = 56 + 40 \n" ); document.write( " = 96 feet. \n" ); document.write( " |
