Algebra.Com's Answer #111805 by iluvbuilding429(41)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Plug in your amount for the perimeter: \n" ); document.write( " \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( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use the distributive property for the the parentheses: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Rearrange the terms so that you will be able to add the like terms: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add the like terms: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 10 from both sides: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 6: \n" ); document.write( " \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( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, the length is 9, and the width is 2. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-iluvbuilding429 \n" ); document.write( " |
