The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its length/width. The perimeter is 28 meters and length is 2 meters more than twice the width.
\n" ); document.write( "What is the length?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = the width
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(2x +2) = length
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter equation:
\n" ); document.write( "2(2x+2) + 2x = 28
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 4 + 2x = 28
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 2x = 28 - 4
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 24
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"24%2F6\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4 meters is the width
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "2(4) + 2 = 10 meters is the length
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check in the perimeter
\n" ); document.write( "2(10) + 2(4) = 28 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
