Question 329176
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">

*[tex \LARGE x] is the representation of the measure of the width, and *[tex \LARGE 3x\ +\ 6] is the representation of the measure of the length.  You said the perimeter is equal to the measure of the width plus the measure of the length.  But to get all the way around a rectangle you need to traverse 2 times the width and 2 times the length.  Solve:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2x\ +\ 2(3x\ +\ 6)\ =\ 124]
