If the perimeter is 30 meters longer than twice the width, length, find the length.\" I know how to find the perimeter but this is on a study guide for semester finals I really need help. PLEASE help. thanks\r

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you know how to find the perimeter, then that's a good start because the formula for the perimeter has to be used.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let W= width
\n" ); document.write( "then the length, L=W/2+5
\n" ); document.write( "and perimeter, P=2W+30\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "As you indicated, we know that 2W+2L=P so our equation to solve is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2W+2(W/2+5)=2W+30 simplifying:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2W+W+10=2W+30 collecting like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "2W-2W+W=30-10\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "W=20 width
\n" ); document.write( "L=W/2+5=20/2+5=
\n" ); document.write( "L=15 Length\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can check the answers by substituting into the above equations.\r
