Question

The length of a rectangle is 7inches more than 4 times the width. The perimeter is 74 inches. Find the length and the width.The length is ? inches and the width is ? inches.

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

Answer 2

L = lenght = 4w + 7

W = width

Perimeter = 2L + 2W

74 = 2 (4W + 7 ) + 2 W

74 = 8W + 14 + 2 W

74 = 10W + 14

74-14 = 10W

60 = 10W

60/10 = W

6 = W

L = 4W + 7

L= 4(6) +7

L= 24+7

L= 31

Answer:

Lenght = 31 inches

Width = 6 inches
