Question 312656: the length of a rectangular picture is seven inches longer than the width. Find the length and width if the perimeter of the picture is 62 inches Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let width be x cm
length = x+7 cm
..
Perimeter = 2*L +2*W
=2x+2(x+7)
= 2x+2x+14
=4x+14
..
4x+14 =62
4x= 48
x= 12 cm the width
12+7 = 19 cm is the length
