Question 1070583: The length of a rectangle doubled and increased by 2m is the same as the width multiplied by 4 and then decreased by 24m. Find the dimensions.
We have written the following equation, but believe more info., such as perimeter is needed to solve the problem:
2L + 2 = 4W - 24
so 26 = 4W - 2L
where would we go from here?
thanks,
Lisa
