Question 188857: What are the dimensions of a rectangle with a perimeter of 80 inches if the length is 10 inches more than 2 times the width? Thank you for your help! Answer by feliz1965(151) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The perimeter of a rectangle can be found using P = 2L + 2W.
The given width = x
The length given = 2x + 10
Perimeter given = 80
Our equation is: 80 = 2(2x + 10) + 2(x)
When you find x, plug the value of x into the given width and given length expressions above.
