find the length of side VW

Answer:
46units
Step-by-step explanation:
let Length(L) = 4y + 3
Width (W) = 5y + 1
Perimeter = 2L + 2W
but perimeter = 179 units
hence: 170 = 2(4y + 3) + 2(5y + 1)
170 = 8y + 6 + 10y + 2
170 = 18y + 8
170 - 8 = 18y
162 = 18y
y = 9 units
Therefore:
VW = L = (5y +1)
= 5(9) + 1 = 46units
