Question 179887: The length of a rectangle is 8 more than the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 96 inches. Find the length and width. Answer by HyperBrain(694) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x=length
y=width
x=y+8
2(x+y)=96
x+y=48
Substituting x=y+8,
y+y+8=48
2y+8=48
2y=40
y=20
x=20+8=28
Therefore, the rectangle is 28 inches and the width is 20 inches.
