Question

. The perimeter of a rectangle is 38 inches. If the length is 3 inches more than the width, find the width.

Answer 1

The answer is 11 inches because my mom told me sorry for no explanation

Answer 2

• w = 8 inches

Explanation:

P = 2w + 2l

l = 3 + w

38 = 2w + 2(3 + w)

38 = 2w + 6 + 2w

38 - 6 = 4w

32 = 4w

w = 32 : 4

w = 8 inches

l = 3 + w

l = 3inches + 8inches

l = 11 inches
