The chs baseball team was on the field and the batter popped the ball up. the equation b(x) = 80t - 16t^2 +3.5

First, you want to establish your equations.

L=7W-2
P=60

This is what we already know. To find the width, we have to plug in what we know into P=2(L+W), our equation to find perimeter.

60=2(7W-2+W) 

Now that we only have 1 variable, we can solve. 

First, distribute the 2.
60=14W-4+2W

Next, combine like terms.

60=16W-4

Then, add four to both sides.

64=16W

Lastly, divide both sides by 16

W=4

To find the length, we plug in our width.

7W-2

7(4)-2

28-2

L=26

6/ 11 = 0.545454 so your answer is55%
