Question

The length os the rectangle is 2ft less than twice its width the primeter s 26ft. help asap please!

Answer 1

length = 2W-2
width = W

2(2W-2)+2W=26
solve that ;
W is the width
2W-2 is the length

Answer 2

Length= L
Width= w
Given: L=2w-2
Perimeter= 26
26= 2(L+w)
2[(2W-2) + W)= 26
2[(3W-2)=26
3W-2=13
3W=15
Therefore, width= 5
and Length= 2(5)-2=8
RESULT=>
Length= 8ft.
Width=5ft.
