Question 758132: The length of a large rectangular room is 25 feet longer than the width of the room. If the perimeter of the room is 150 feet, what is the width, in feet, of the room? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Width of a room = x
Length of a room = x + 25
Perimeter = 2xlength + 2xwidth
150 = 2(x + 25) + 2x
150 = 2x + 50 + 2x
150 = 50 + 4x
100 = 4x
x = 25ft.
So, Width = 25ft, Length = 50ft.
Hope this helps.
