Answer-So the dimensions of the rectangle are width is 4 m and length is 11 m
Explanation:
Equation for Perimeter of a rectangle: Perimeter = 2W + 2L
Defining the variables, let
Width = x
Length = 2x+3 (3 more than twice the width)
Plugging everything into the equation
30= 2(x) + 2(2x+3) using the distributive property,
30=2x+4x+6 combining like terms
30=6x+6 subtracting 6 from both sides,
24=6x divide both sides by 6
4=x This means that the width is 4 m
To get the length, use the expression L=2x+3 and plug in x = 4 that was already solved for
L=2(4)+3
L=8+3 = 11 m
So the dimensions of the rectangle are width is 4 m and length is 11 m
