9 10 TIME REMAINING 51:47 The perimeter of a rectangle is 16 inches. The equation that represents the perimeter of the rectangle is 2l + 2w = 16, where l represents the length of the rectangle and w represents the width of the rectangle. Which value is possible for the length of the rectangle? 7 in. 8 in. 9 in. 10 in.

7 in, because any value than 7 either makes more than 16 when doubled, or makes it so that the width has to be 0, which would make it a line and not a rectangle.
