Answer 4

Solve the following for w, the width:
2 (w + 4 w) = 150

Answer 5

Let the width be x

length = 4 width = 4x



Perimeter = sum of all sides

x + 4x + 4x + x = 150
10x = 150
x = 15

Answer 6

should really go step by step

Answer 7

Set up an equation to represent this scenario. L=4W, and P=150=2(L+W)=2(4W+W)=2(5W)

Answer 8

ok thanks a bunch :) I will write this down in my notes for later.

Answer 9

yes it is 15 for the width srry
