Question 185243
The length of a rectangular picture is 5 inches greater thatn twice the width. If the perimeter is 112 inches, find the dimensions of the frame. 
------------------------
Let the width be "x".
Then length = "2x+5"
-------------------------
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
112 = 2(2x+5 + x)
56 = 3x+5
3x = 51
x = 17 inches (width)
2x+5 = 2*17+5 = 34+5 = 39 inches (length)
