hartnn · Answer

P = 16 = 2 (l+w)
l = 2 + 2w
solve :)

So which equation do I use Hartnn?

anonymous · Answer

Confused ._.

anonymous · Answer

p=16 which then will qual to 2 which looks like (l=w) length plus width :) Then you do length okay? 2+2 times the width which will give you the answer :)

hartnn · Answer

both!
16 = 2 (l+w), so 8 = l +w , so w= 8-l
plug this in
l = 2 + 2w
