Algebra.Com's Answer #539085 by JulietG(1812)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The perimeter is a fence around. It's 2 widths + 2 lengths. \n" ); document.write( "130 = 2(L) + 2(W) \n" ); document.write( "L = W+5 \n" ); document.write( "Substitute the value of L from the bottom equation into the top. \n" ); document.write( "130 = 2(W+5) + 2W \n" ); document.write( "Distribute \n" ); document.write( "130 = 2W + 10 + 2W \n" ); document.write( "130 = 4W + 10 \n" ); document.write( "Subtract 10 from each side \n" ); document.write( "120 = 4W \n" ); document.write( "Divide each side by 4 \n" ); document.write( "30 = W \n" ); document.write( "If the width is 30, then the length is 35 \n" ); document.write( "30 + 30 + 35 + 35 = 130 \n" ); document.write( " |
