Please help! Having a hard time with these, appreciated if you do :)


Answer:
Hey there!
Here's the first question.
Let l be the length, and w be the width.
Thus, we have 5w=l+4, or 5w-4=l.
The perimeter is 76, so 2l+2w=76.
We see that l=5w-4, so substitute 5w-4 for l.
2(5w-4)+2w=76
10w-8+2w=76
12w-8=76
12w=84
w=7
Thus, the length is 5(7)-4, or 31.
Option C is correct.
Here is the second question)
Let x be the larger angle and y be the smaller angle.
Supplementary angles add to 180 degrees.
x+y=180
x=3y
Similar to the first problem change all the x's into 3y's
3y+y=180
4y=180
y=45
x=135
So the two angles are 45 and 135 and they add to 180 degrees (Choice D)
Hope this helps :)
