Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 16 inches. The equation that represents the perimeter of the rectangle is 2 l plus 2 w equals 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.

Answer 1

8

Its 8 because 8 has only 8 one in it

Answer 2

8

Explanation:

2l+2w=16

Step 1: Add -2w to both sides.

2l+2w+−2w=16+−2w

2l=−2w+16

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.

2l

2

=

−2w+16

2

l=−w+8
