they gave you "length is five times its width" so L = 5W then "perimeter is 96" so 2L + 2W = 96 then plug in L so 2(5W) + 2W = 96 and solve for W

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 96?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

not quite :) you'll have to solve for W from 2(5W) + 2W = 96

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i do that.....? i dont know what that is.

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

have you seen stuff like 10x + 2x = 96 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait would it be 12x=96? then divide 96 by 12. then that is your answer?
