Algebra.Com's Answer #107388 by 24HoursTutor.com(40)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let us assume the breadth of the rectangle to be x \n" ); document.write( "Then the length will be 2 + 3x \n" ); document.write( "Now we know that \n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2(Length + Breadth) \n" ); document.write( "Substituting the given perimeter 100 in the above equation would give us : \n" ); document.write( "100 = 2(2+3x+x) \n" ); document.write( "100 = 4 + 6x + 2x \n" ); document.write( "100 = 4 + 8x \n" ); document.write( "100-4 = 12x \n" ); document.write( "12x = 96 \n" ); document.write( "x = 96/12 \n" ); document.write( "x= 8 = width \n" ); document.write( "Length = 2 + 3x = 2 + 3(8) = 2 + 24 = 26\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer: the length of the rectangle is 26 while the width is 8. \n" ); document.write( "The above question is solved by one of the experts from 24HoursTutor.com \n" ); document.write( "We provide live 1:1 online homework help \n" ); document.write( "1. 24X7 tutors available \n" ); document.write( "2.
