Question

The length of a rectangle is two more than three times it’s width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 92 meters, find the demension.

Answer 1

11; 35

Explanation:

width is x

length is 3x+2

perimeter is 2x+2(3x+2)=92

2x+6x+4=92

8x+4=92

8x+4-4 = 92-4 (subtract 4 from both sides)

8x=88

x=11 (by dividing both sides by 8)

11---> width

3times11+2=35 is length
