Question 164337
The perimeter of a rectangle is twice the sum of its length/width. The perimeter is 28 meters and length is 2 meters more than twice the width.
What is the length? 
:
Let x = the width
then
(2x +2) = length
:
The perimeter equation:
2(2x+2) + 2x = 28
4x + 4 + 2x = 28
4x + 2x = 28 - 4
6x = 24
x = {{{24/6}}}
x = 4 meters is the width
then
2(4) + 2  = 10 meters is the length
:
:
Check in the perimeter
2(10) + 2(4) = 28
