The width of a rectangle is (x- 6). the rectangle's length is 8 units longer than its width. if the perimeter is 40 units, what is the length ?

l = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is

P =2(l+w)

The width is x-6

w = x-6

The length is 8 units longer than the width

l = w+8

l = x-6+8

l = x+2

We can substitute this into the equation for Perimeter, which is given as 40

40 = 2(x+2 + x-6)

Combine like terms

40 =2 (2x-4)

Divide by 2

40/2 = 2/2 (2x-4)

20 = 2x-4

Add 4 to each side

20+4 =2x-4+4

24 = 2x

Divide by 2

24/2 =2x/2

12=x

We want to know the length

l = x+2

l =12+2

l = 14

step-by-step explanation:

consider an orange peel: if you want to try and lay it flat, you have to stretch it, we know exactly how things are being stretched or squashed at any given point. we have many different map projections because each has different patterns of some projections can even preserve certain features of the earth without
