Question 901452: If your going to help me could you PLEASE explain to me how you got the answer so that way i can answer the other problems with ease!? Ok so our assignment is to translate word problems into algebraic equations. -- The length of a rectangle is 2cm more than 5 times the width. The perimeter is 196cm. Find the width and length. -- In the directions we have to indentify our variable, write an equation, show work, and solve. PLEASE help me, my teacher didnt do a good job at explaining this to us!

This is not a good place to complain about teachers. Many of the tutors are or have been teachers.
What is the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle?
What info did they supply in the question about the length and width?
How can you write that in algebra?
