Question

The length of a rectangle is 12 miles less than twice the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 96 miles. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Length= 68 miles

Width=28 miles.

Explanation:

Length=2x+12

Width=x

2x+12+x=96

3x+12=96

3x=96-12

3x=84

X=28

Width=28

Length=(2×28)+12=68
