Question 21562: Can you show me how to solve this problem using algebra? The length of the rectangle is 3 cm more than twice the width. The perimeter is 60 cm. What is the length and width of this rectangle? Answer by Paul(988) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! lenth = 2x+3
width=x
2(x+2x+3)=60
6x+6=60
6x=54
x=9
2(9)+3=21
Hence, thw width is 9cm and the length is 21 cm
