Question 551665: The length of a rectangle is 5 meters less than four times its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 110 meters, what is the length of the rectangle? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! width =x
length = 4x-5
perimeter =110
Perimeter = 2(L+W)
110 = 2(x+4x-5)
110=2(5x-5)
110=10x-10
10x=110+10
10x=120
/10
x=12 m the width
length = 4x-5==> 4*12-5==> 48-5=43 m
