Question 238574: The perimeter of a rectangle is 108m. The length is 3m more than twice the width. find the dimensions. What is the length in meters and what is the width in meters? Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! L=2W+3
2L+2W=108
2(2W+3)+2W=108
4W+6+2W=108
6W=108-6
6W=102W=102/6
W=17 M IS THE WIDTH.
L=2*17+3=34+3=37 M IS THE LENGTH.
PROOF:
2*37=2*17=108
74+34=108
108=108
