6.) The length of a rectangle is 19 feet longer than the width. If the perimeter is 46 feet, write an equation for this scenario where "x" represents the width.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter can be expressed as

P=2L+2W

let the width be x

W=x

L=x+19

perimeter P=46ft

Therefore substituting and solving for x we have

46=2(x+19)+2x

46=2x+38+2x

46=2x+2x+38

46-38=4x

8=4x

x=8/4

x=2

the width is 2

the lenght = 2+19=21

answer: 230 miles ( vote ! )

step-by-step explanation:

180.39 minus 17.99 equals 162.4

then divide 162.4 by .80 to get 230

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.
