Hey there!

ASSUMING:

p = 2l + 2w

IF SO:

• We already have our perimeter (p) & our width (w), now you have to find our length (l)

160 = 2l + 2(34)


CONVERT TO:

2l + 2(34) = 160

SIMPLIFY IT:

2l + 68 = 160


SUBTRACT 68 to BOTH SIDES:

2l + 68 - 68 = 160 - 68


SIMPLIFY IT:

2l = 160 - 68

2l = 92


DIVIDE 2 to BOTH SIDES:

2l/2 = 92/2


SIMPLIFY IT:

l = 92/2

l = 46


Therefore, your answer should be:

l = 46


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
