@F_Jayyy

Answer 3

well perimeter is 2(l*w)

Answer 4

ya

Answer 5

so l and w is 2x and x

Answer 6

so 2(2x*x) :)

Answer 7

ok thanks!

Answer 8

yeah no prob

Answer 9

am i supose to do destribute property on the last step?

Answer 11

what you think @stefancipe

Answer 12

Quick review: The perimeter formula for the rectangle is 2L + 2W=P.
Here P is given and is 18 feet. Thus, equate 2L + 2W to 18 feet.

We are told that L=2x and W=1x. thus, our Perimeter formula becomes
2(2x) + 2(1x) = 18.

Annie: multiply out the left two terms, one at a time, independently.

Answer 13

Then add the 2 terms on the left together and equate them to 18. type your answer here:

Answer 14

2 (2x) + 2 (1x) = 18
4x + 2x = 18
6x = 18
/6 /6
x = 3
like this? @mathmale

Answer 15

yes, that's correct
