Question 932432: brad knows the perimeter of his rectangular shaped patio is 24 feet. the width is 5 feet. how long is it
Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Perimeter of a rectangle is 2(width) + 2(length)
x = length
2x + 2(5) = 24 {substituted into perimeter formula}
2x + 10 = 24 {multiplied}
2x = 14 {subtracted 10 from each side}
x = 7 {divided each side by 2}
length is 7 ft
