Question 117360: Translate the statement below into a mathematical equation.
The Perimeter of a rectangle is 600. The length of the rectangle is 2 more than 3 times the width. Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! P=2L+2W
600=2(3W+2)+2W
600=6W+4+2W
600=8W+4
8W=600-4
8W=596
W=596/8
W=74.5 IS THE WIDTH.
L=3*74.5+2
L=223.5+2
L=235.5 IS THE LENGTH.
PROOF
2*74.5+2*225.5=600
149+451=600
600=600
