Question 50778: The width of a romm is 3 feet shorter than its length. The perimeter of the room in 62ft. What is the length and width? Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! p=2*l+2*w or 62=2*l+2(l-3) or 62=2l+2l-6 or 62=4l-6 or 4l=68 or l=68/4 or l=17
then the width is 17-3=14
proof 2*17+2*14=62 or 34+28=62 or 62=62
