my bad

Answer 6

26 = 2(width) + 2(width - 5)
26= 2(width+width-5)
13 = width + width - 5
18 = width + width
9= width

9-5 = 4 = length

4+4+9+9 = 26

x=6

Answer 12

to find perimeter we need length and width.

Width=x
Length=2x-5

Answer 13

2L+2W=26

Answer 14

so 2(x)+2(2x-5)=26
2x+4x-10=26

Answer 15

6x=36
x=6
