Question 144323: The Perimeter of a Rectangle 108m The length is 3m more than twice the width. Find the dimensions. What is the length and the width? (simplify)?
Will someone please help me with this word problem. I cannot do these for the life of me. help
The perimeter is 2L + 2W, so the Length + the Width is 54, 1/2 of 108.
It says, L = 2W+3, and
L+W=54.
2 equations in 2 unknowns:
L+W=54 eqn (1)
L=2W+3 eqn (2)
Substitute for L in eqn (1)
W+2W+3=54
3W + 3 = 54
3W = 51
W = 17
L = 37
