Algebra.Com's Answer #216700 by london maths tutor(243)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let 's the length of the rectangle be \"L\" and the width of the rectangle be \"w\".\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "L = 7 + 2w (The length is 7m more than twice the width.) \n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 80 m \n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2L + 2w = 80 m\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2(7+2w) + 2w = 80m \n" ); document.write( "14 + 4w + 2w = 80m \n" ); document.write( "6w = 80 - 14 m \n" ); document.write( "6w = 66 m \n" ); document.write( "w = 66/6 m \n" ); document.write( "w = 11 m\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Put w = 11 into L = 7 + 2w\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "L = 7 + 2(11) m \n" ); document.write( "L = 7 + 22 m \n" ); document.write( "L = 29 m\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer: Length = 29m and width = 11m \n" ); document.write( " |
