Question 233305: The perimeter of a rectangular backyard is 6x+6 yards. If the width is x, find a binomial that represents the length. Found 2 solutions by solver91311, Earlsdon:Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
where is the length and is the width. Substitute for and for , and then solve for .
Of course this is only correct if we presume that the unit of measure for the width, which you (or perhaps your textbook or instructor) failed to specify, is yards. You have to make some presumption about the unit of measure for the width or you cannot solve this problem at all.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The perimeter of a rectangle can be expressed as: Substitute P = 6x+6, W = x. Divide both sides by 2. Subtract x from both sides. or
