Answer 4

Yes or P=2L+2W

Answer 5

The word problem gives us the permitter, which is P and it gives of the Length, which is 11 inches longer than the width. Length = (w + 11).
So

P = 2L + 2W
P = 2(w + 11) + 2w

can you finish and you see what I have done?

let me try

Answer 7

One sec

Answer 8

This will help you more

P = 2(w + 11) + 2w

Answer 13

70 = 2(w + 11) + 2w
70 = 2w + 22 + 2w
70 - 22 = 2w + 2w
48 = 4w
48/4 = 4w/4
12 = w
w = 12
