Question 1204241
<pre>
The perimeter of a rectangle is 48 centimeters. The relationship between the length, the width, and the perimeter of the rectangle can be described with the equation 2 . length+2 . width=48. find the length in centimeters if width is w centimeters.

Although written poorly, the obvious is stated...."the perimeter of the rectangle can be described
with the equation 2length + 2width = 48."

With width being w, and length, L, we get: 2w + 2L = 48
                                          2(w + L) = 2(24)
                                             w + L = 24
                                   <font size = 4><font color = red><b>Length</font></font></b>, or L = <font size = 4><font color = red><b>24 - w</font></font></b>.</pre>
