Question

The length,1

, of a rectangle is
8 more than 2
times the width, w
. Which expression can be used to represent the length of the rectangle?

Answer 1

We can call the length of the rectangle
`l` and the width of the rectangle
`w`. We know that the length of the rectangle is
`8` more than
`2` times the width of the rectangle, so we can write
`(2\cdot w)+8 = l` or
`2w+8`.

So, 2w+8 is our answer.

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\sf l = 8 + 2w}`

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of rectangle = l

Width of rectangle = w

Given condition:

2 times width => 2w

8 more than 2 times width => 8 + 2w

So,

l = 8 + 2w

This is the required expression.

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`
