Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a rectangle is 3 meters more than the width.

If the width is b.

Length=b+3

The perimeter of the rectangle is 26 meters.

Since, Perimeter=2(Length+width)

2(b+3+b)=26

dividing both sides by 2

⇒ b+3+b=13

⇒ 2b=13-3

⇒ 2b=10

dividing both sides by 2

⇒ b=5

Width=5 meter

and Length=5+3=8 meter

  • which equation represents the situation: 2(b+3+b)=26
  • How many solutions will this equation have: Unique
