Question

95/2.1 the length of a rectangular poster is 10 inches longer than the width. if the perimeter of the poster is 124 inches, what is the width?

Answer 1

so basically I let length = w + 10
perimeter = 124

therefore, w+w+w+10+w+10 = 124
will give you, 4w + 20 = 124
then subtract, 4w = 124 - 20
then divide, w = 104/ 4
results,. w = 26 inches.

in conclusion, width = 26inches and
length = 26 + 10 = 36inches.
