Question

A picture frame has a perimeter of 62 inches. The difference between the

length and twice the width is 1 inch. What are the length and width of the
frame?

Answer 1

Answer: each width = 10, each length = 21

Explanation: from the question we know that L=2w + 1 and we also know that a rectangle has the perimeter of 62 when we plug it in the equation we will get 62= 2(2w+1+w) we will multiply the 2 now and we will get 62=4w+2+2w we will combine like terms and we will minus two from both sides ending up with 60=6w we will divide six from both sides and we will get w=10 then we will use l=2w+1 to find the length and it will be 21
