Question 114494
The length of a rectangle is 10 meters more than one-half the width. If the perimeter is 44 meters, what are the length and width?


width = x
length = {{{x/2}}} + 10

Perimeter = 2x + 2({{{x/2}}}+10) = 44
2x + x + 20 = 44
3x + 20 = 44
3x = 24
x = 8 (width)
8/2+10 = 4+10 = 14 (length)

Dimensions are 14m by 8m.
