Question

the length of a rectangle is two feet greater then twice its width if the primeter is 25 find the width

Answer 1

Explanation:

Perimeter is simply length + width. They gave us that the length is 2 feet plus 2 times the width:

`25=(2w+2)+W`

Subtract 2 from both sides to get 23 = 2w + w

Combine like terms to get 23 = 3w

Divide by 3 to get
`w=7 \frac{2}3}` feet
