Question 1005312: The length of a rectangle is 2 inches more than its width. The area of the rectangle is equal to 12 inches more than three times the perimeter. Find the length and width of the rectangle Answer by macston(5194) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This makes no sense.
The area cannot equal a length.
Perimeter is a length, 3 times a length is still
a length, 3 times a length plus a length is still
a length. Area is measured in square units. Lines
(and linear measurements) have no area.
