<PRE><B>Question 114495</B>
Perimeter(P) of a rectangle equals the two times the Length(L) plus two times the Width(W) or:

P=2L+2W

Let W=the width
W/2=one half the width
((W/2)+10)= 10 meters more than half the width=L

So:

P=44=2((W/2)+10)+2W  get rid of parens and simplify
44=W+20+2W subtract 20 from both sides

44-20=W+20-20+2W collect like terms

24=3W  divide both sides by 3


W=8 units-----------------width

(W/2)+10=(8/2)+10=4+10=14 units---------------length

CK

4+10=14
14=14
2*8+2*14=44
16+28=44
44=44


Hope this helps---ptaylor</PRE>
