Question 460014: A rectangle that is 90cm and the length and width is unknown, also it is 3cm's longer than twice the width? The perimeter is 90cm's.Need to know the algerbric equasion for this and find the unknowns?

Always list what you know first.
p = perimeter
l = length
w = width
p = 2l + 2w
p = 2(l+w)
p = 90
.
The given relationship has to be turned from English into algebra.
.
length is 3 cm longer than twice the width
l = 2w + 3
.
Substitute and solve for l.
.
p = 2l + 2w
p = 2(2w+3) + 2w
p = 4w + 6 + 2w
90 = 6w + 6
84 = 6w
6w = 84
w = 84/6
w = 14 cm
.
Substitute this value to find l.
.
l = 2*w + 3
l = 2*14 + 3
l = 31 cm
.
Check the perimeter using
l = 31
w = 14
2(31)+2(14) = ??
62 + 28 = 90
Right.
.
Done
