Algebra.Com's Answer #204226 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The perimeter of a rectangular backyard is 6x + 6 yards. \n" ); document.write( "If the width is x yards, find a binomial that represents the length. \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2(W + L) \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "6x+6 = 2(x + L) \n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 2 to get: \n" ); document.write( "3x+3 = x+L \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Length = 2x+3 \n" ); document.write( "================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "================== \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
