Question

Translation of the length of a rectangle is 2 feet greater than twice its width. If the perimeter is 25 feet, fine the width

Answer 1

Explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle=(length+width)×2

Let W=x, L=2x+2

25=[(2x+2)+x]×2

25=[2x+2+x]×2

Solve for x

25/2=3x+2

25/2-2=3x

25-4/2=3x

21\2=3x=7/2=x
