length = 82 cm
width = 16 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
x = length
y = width
the perimeter of a rectangle is the lengths of all sides added together. so, 2×length plus 2× width
x = 5y + 2
196 = 2x + 2y
let's use the first equation as substitute in the second equation.
196 = 2×(5y + 2) + 2y = 10y + 4 + 2y = 12y + 4
12y = 192
y = 16 cm
x = 5y + 2 = 5×16 + 2 = 80 + 2 = 82 cm
