Arectangular garden has a 8 ft walkway around it. how many more feet is the outer perimeter of the walkway than the perimeter of the garden

check the picture below.

if the length of the inner perimeter is "y", and the width of the inner perimeter is "x", then the inner perimeter is x + x + y + y, or 2x + 2y.

now, the outer length and width are y+16 and x + 16, so the perimeter is (y+16)+(y+16)+(x+16)+(x+16), or 2x+2y+64.  How many more feet is longer?  well, notice.

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
