Question

A rectangle has a length that is 8 less than its width, w. The perimeter is 52. Which equation can be used to determine its

width?
8-W-52
2(w-8) +2w=52
(W-8)+W=52
2(8-W) +2w=52

Answer 1

The correct answer is B or 2(w-8) +2w=52

(I just took the quiz)

Explanation:

Answer 2

2(w-8) +2w=52

its perimeter so u multiply everything by 2 and since u dont know the length but know its 8 less u subtract by width
