Let l be the length of the rectangle and w be the width of the rectangle =). \"The perimeter of a rectangle is 600\": <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=2l%2B2w+=+600 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"2l%2B2w+=+600\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. I got this equation from knowing the defintion of perimeter: The perimeter of something is the length of all the sides. Now for the second secntence. \"The length of the rectangle is 2 more than 3 times the width.\": <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=l=3w%2B2 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"l=3w%2B2\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. If you plug <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=l=3w%2B2 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"l=3w%2B2\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" > into <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=2l%2B2lw+=+600 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"2l%2B2lw+=+600\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >, you get <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=2%283w%2B2%29%2B2w+=+600 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"2%283w%2B2%29%2B2w+=+600\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. This becomes <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=6w%2B4%2B2w+=+600 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"6w%2B4%2B2w+=+600\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. Adding the w's together and subtracting 4 from both sides you get: <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=8w+=+596 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"8w+=+596\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. Divide both sides by 8 to get w=74.5. Then you can plug w=74.5 into equation <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=2l%2B2w+=+600 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"2l%2B2w+=+600\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" > or <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=l=3w%2B2 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"l=3w%2B2\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" > to get the value of l. I'll plug w=74.5 into <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=l=3w%2B2 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"l=3w%2B2\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" > to get <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=l=3%2874.5%29%2B2 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"l=3%2874.5%29%2B2\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. Then solving for l you get l=225.5. So the rectangle is 74.5 by 225.5! ^0^<BR>\n" );
