Question 498747: the perimeter of a rectangle is 16x its width. the length is 12 cm more than the width. find length and width Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! width = x
length = x + 12
2x + 2x + 24 = 16x
4x + 24 = 16x
24 = 12x
2 cm = x, The width.
14 cm , the length.
4 + 28 = 32, the perimeter.
16(2) = 32 cm, this does check.
