If the length of a rectangle is 96ft and the perimeter is 397ft. What is the width?

Step 1. Let l = 96 ft length of rectangle and w be the width

Step 2. Let P = 397 be the perimeter. Perimeter means adding the 4 sides of a rectangle. So,

Step 3. Subtract 192 from both sides of equation to get 2w by itself

Step 4. Divide 2 to both sides of equation

Step 5. w = 102.5 is the width of the rectangle.

Check P=192+2w=192+2(102.5)=192+205=397. So w = 102.5 is the solution.
