Find the length of each side of the rectangle so that it has the given perimeter.
Note: Perimeter = 2*length + 2*width
Length= 2x-5
Width= x

p=50 in.

Length=2x-5= 2(10)-5=20-5=15 in.
Width=x=10 in
Sanity check, does a rectangle with a length of 15 in and a width of 10 in have a peimeter that is 50 in?
50=2(15)+2(10)
50=30+20
50=50
We're not off our rocker!!!!
Happy Calculating!!!!
