Answer:
Explanation:
L = 3*w + 1 Given
P = 2*(L + w) Formula for Perimeter. Substitute for L
P = 2*(3w + 1 + w) Combine
P = 2*(4w + 1)
P = 58 Given
58 = 8w + 2 Remove the brackets
58 - 2 = 8w Subtract 2
56 = 8*w Divide by 8
56/8 = w
7 = w
================
Find L
L = 3*w + 1
L = 3*7 + 1
L = 22
================
Check
2L + 2W = 58
2*22 + 2*7 =? 58
44 + 14 = ? 58
58 = 58
The answer checks.
