The perimeter of a rectangle is 22m. The lenght is 5 more than twice the width. Find the dimesions.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use the formula:
\n" ); document.write( "\"P=2L%2B2w\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Plug in your amount for the perimeter:
\n" ); document.write( "\"22=2L%2B2w\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since the length is 5 more than twice the width, L=2w+5. So, replace L with 2w+5:
\n" ); document.write( "\"22=2%282w%2B5%29%2B2w\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use the distributive property for the the parentheses:
\n" ); document.write( "\"22=4w%2B10%2B2w\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Rearrange the terms so that you will be able to add the like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "\"22=4w%2B2w%2B10\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add the like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "\"22=6w%2B10\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 10 from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "\"12=6w\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 6:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2=w\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This means the width is 2. To find the length (which is 2w+5), plug in the 2 for w.
\n" ); document.write( "\"L=2%282%29%2B5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply:
\n" ); document.write( "\"L=4%2B5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add:
\n" ); document.write( "\"L=9\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, the length is 9, and the width is 2.
