Talia Gibbs · Answer 1

I can't see any statements, but I can solve it,

We know that the length (l) is 20ft

lets take the equation and solve what we can,

let's substitute L for 20

2 (20) + 2W = 62

2 (20) = 40

40-40=0

62-40=22

2W=22

Divide by 2

2W/2=W

22/2=11

W=11

L=20

The answer is - The value of w cannot be a negative number because the answer is positive,
