Question 254499: the perimeter of a rectangle is 60 inches the length exceeds the width by 6 inches. Find the length and the width. Answer by MRperkins(300) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! p=2w+2l
60=2w+2l
l=w+6
60=2w+2(w+6)
60=2w+2w+12
60=4w+12
48=4w
12=w
l=w+6
l=12+6
l=18
so: l=18, w=12
