Question 307458: The Perimeter of a rectangle is 6x+6 yds. If the width is x yards, find a binomial that represents the length.
Answer by rapaljer(4671)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x = width
Let L = Length
P = 6x+6

2x+2L= P
2x+2L= 6x+6, you must solve for L.

Subtract 2x from each side.
2x-2x+2L = 6x+6-2x
2L= 4x+6

Divide both sides by 2.
L= 2x+3
