Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 106 feet. Find the length and width if the length is an integer and the width is 5 times the next consecutive integer.

Answer 1

Width = 45

Length = 8

Explanation:

length =x

Width= 5(x+1) = 5x + 5

2x + 2 (5x+5) = 106

2x + 10x + 10 = 106

12x = 106-10

x = 96/12

x = 8

5(8+1) = 45
