document.write( "Question 844675: I have a word problem that I need to solve. I have set it up but I don't know if I did it correctly. The problem reads like this: The perimeter of a rectangle is 32 cm. The length is 1 cm more than twice the width. Find the length and width of the rectangle.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I know that we add all for sides to find perimeter so I am thinking p=32cm
\n" ); document.write( "and L+1+2W=32cm I am stuck here.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
L for length and w for width.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter of 32 cm. means \"2L%2B2w=32\", which you can simplify into \"L%2Bw=16\" (done by dividing left and right by 2.)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The other description means, \"L=1%2B2w\". Substitute this in the perimeter simplified equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"L%2Bw=16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2B2w%29%2Bw=16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2B2w%2Bw=16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2B3w=16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3w=15\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28w=5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "You finish!
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
