Question

"The perimeter of a rectangle is 18 inches. The length is three more than the width. What is the length?" So far I've got:
P=18
L+3=W
And so I think [(L+3)+w]2=P
But I could be wrong...Any takers?

Answer 1

P = 2(L+W)

Answer 2

If you want just one variable (and I think you do) w = L+w means that L = w-3

using daniel's equation P=2((w-3)+w) ya? or 18=2w-6
and then it is easy

Answer 3

2(l+w) = 18
2(w+3+w)=18 since l is w+3 substitute ..
2w+3=9
w=3

Answer 4

aaak that should be w = L +3 but you knew that

Answer 5

w=3 so l is 6

Answer 6
