Answer:

L = 40

w = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2*L + 2*w

L = w + 4

w = w

P = 152

P = 2*(w + 4) + 2*w             Remove the brackets

P = 2w + 8 + 2w                  Combine and switch sides Use P = 152

4w + 8 = P

4w + 8 = 152                        Subtract 8 from both sides.

4w = 152 - 8

4w = 144                               Divide by 4

4w/w = 144/4                  

w = 36

L = w + 4

L = 36 + 4

L = 40
