<PRE><B>Question 210150</B>
Find the length and width of a rectangle which has a perimeter of 24. And the Length is 3 inches greater then the width.
-----------
Perimeter = 2L + 2W
L = W + 3 (length is 3 more than width)
Sub for L in 1st equation
P = 2(W + 3) + 2W
24 = 2W + 6 + 2W
24 = 4W + 6
4W = 18
W = 4.5 inches
L = 7.5 inches
