Question

Write and solve an equation to find the number:

The perimeter of a rectangle patio is 64 feet. The length is 10 feet longer than the width.

What is the width of the patio (no units needed)

Answer 1

11=w

Explanation:

l = 10+ w

w = w

64= 2(10+w) + 2(w)

64= 20+2w +2w

64=20+4w

44=4w

11=w
