If the perimeter of a rectangle is 164 meters and the length is 2 meters less than 5 times the width, then what are the dimensions of the rectangle?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "width = x
\n" ); document.write( " 5 tims width = 5x
\n" ); document.write( "2 lees
\n" ); document.write( "5x-2
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "length = 5x-2
\n" ); document.write( "2*(L+W)=perimeter
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "2(x+5x-2)=164
\n" ); document.write( "2(6x-2)=164
\n" ); document.write( "12x-4=164
\n" ); document.write( "add 4 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "12x=168
\n" ); document.write( "/12
\n" ); document.write( "x= 14 m the width.
\n" ); document.write( "...
