Question

52. The length of a rectangle is 3 more than twice the width. The perimeter is 60 feet. Find the dimensions

of the rectangle.

Answer 1

^^^correct answer! Second person verification i would put the same thing but there’s no point.

Answer 2

Let the length be x and the width be y.

x+3=2y

2x+2y=60

So, 2y=60-2x

60-2x=x+3

60=3x+3

57=3x

x=19

If x=19, then y=11

So, the dimensions are: length 19, width 11.

Let me know if this helps!
