The length of a rectangular label is 2.5 cm less than twice the width.
\n" ); document.write( " The perimeter is 40.6 cm. Find the width.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter: 2L + 2W = 40.6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "It says,\"length is 2.5 cm less than twice the width.\"
\n" ); document.write( "L = (2W-2.5)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "In the perimeter equation, replace L with (2W-2.5)
\n" ); document.write( "2(2W-2.5) + 2W = 40.6
\n" ); document.write( "4W - 5 + 2W = 40.6
\n" ); document.write( "6W = 40.6 + 5
\n" ); document.write( "6W = 45.6
\n" ); document.write( "W = \"45.6%2F6\"
\n" ); document.write( "W = 7.6 cm is the width
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "I'll let you find the Length, find the perimeter using these values to check it. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
