Question

The length of a rectangle is 4 more than twice the width length. The perimeter is 28. What is the LENGTH?

Answer 1

10
`(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

Let the width length be x.

Width length = x

Length = 2x + 4

Perimeter = width + length + width + length

= x + 2x + 4 + x + 2x + 4

= 6x + 8

6x + 8 = 28

6x = 28 - 8

= 20

x = 20 ÷ 6

x = 3
`(1)/(3)`

Length (2x + 4) = 2(3
`(1)/(3)`) + 4

= 6
`(2)/(3)` + 4

= 10
`(2)/(3)`
