Question

The perimeter of a patio is 64 feet. The width of the patio is 12 feet and the length of the patio is ( ) x + 6 feet. What is the length of the patio?

Answer 1

20 feet, 12+12+L+L=64 so you simplify and it becomes 24+L+L=64. Take away 24 from 64 and you get 40. 40 divided by 2 equals 20, and you can plug 20 into the L spots and it all works.
