Question 957501: If the perimeter of a rectangle piece of glass is 26 inches and the length is 14 inches longer than twice the width, then what are the length and width?
I keep getting -1/3 as my answer for the width Answer by macston(5194) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This problem cannot be solved as written. If the length is 14 inches longer than 2 times width, each length must be at least 14 inches, 2*14 inches=28 inches
P=perimeter=26in, the 2 lengths are longer than the entire perimeter.
No possible solution.
