Perimeter of a rectangle. The perimeter of a rectagular backyard is 6x + 6 yards. If the width is x yards, find a binomial that represents the length.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter of a rectangle is:
\n" ); document.write( "perimeter=L+L+W+W
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "perimeter=2(L+W)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "From the problem they gave you two pieces of information:
\n" ); document.write( "x=width
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "perimeter = 6x+6
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Plug the given info into our equation and solve for L:
\n" ); document.write( "perimeter=2(L+W)
\n" ); document.write( "6x+6=2(L+x)
\n" ); document.write( "dividing both sides by 2:
\n" ); document.write( "3x+3 = L+x
\n" ); document.write( "subtracting x from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "2x+3 = L (this is our solution)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
