so you would have 2x+2y=40 then x=y+4 so what would be the number for the length and the width

anonymous · Answer

No...perimeter is all sides added together right?
So w+w+w+4+w+4=40

Solve for w and youll have the width

anonymous · Answer

so you would do 40-8=32/4 right

anonymous · Answer

so the length would be 12 and the width would be 8 correct

anonymous · Answer

Yep
