The sides of a rectangle are a number and 4 less than that same numbers. The perimeter is 56. Find the dimensions of the rectangle. write an algebraic expression or equation to represent the verbal expression.

find the answer in the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given that the sides of a rectangle are a number and 4 less than that same numbers.

Let the length side = L

And width side = L - 4

The dimensions of the rectangle will be

Area = length × width

L × ( L - 4 )

Open the bracket

L^2 - 4L

The verbal expression here,

Perimeter = L + L + W + W

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

56 = L + L + L-4 + L-4

56 = 2L + 2L - 8

56 = 4L - 8

thats not a system of equations, that is a solution

answer: 8d

step-by-step explanation:

45+5= 50+5=55+5=60
