Question

Geometry The length of a rectangle is represented by 2x + 3, and its

width is represented by 3x + 7. The perimeter of the rectangle is 35 units.
Find the value of x

Answer 1

x = 1.5

Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding widht and height and multiply it by 2

The lenght is 2x + 3 and the width is 3x + 7

(2x + 3 + 3x + 7) *2 = 10x + 20 this is the perimeter which is given as 35 units

10x + 20 = 35 subtract 20 from both sides

10x = 15 divide both sides by 10

x = 1.5
