Question 510350: The length is 5 units more than the width. The perimeter is 9 times the width. Find the length and the width of the rectangle. Answer by swincher4391(1107) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! l = w + 5
P = 2l + 2w
9w = 2l + 2w
9w = 2(w+5) + 2w
9w = 2w + 10 + 2w
5w = 10
w = 2
l = (2) + 5
l = 7
Length: 7
Width: 2
