Question

1 carpet has aperimeter of 220 inches the length of carpet is 22 inches more than the width.What are dimensions

Answer 1

P=220 = 2L+2W
L=22+W
P = 2(22+W) +2W = 220
solve for W
then plug back in again for L

Answer 2

can you set this up algebraically

Answer 3

P = 44 + 2W +2W = 220
44 +4W = 220
4W = 176
W = 44
L = 22 + W = 22 + 44 = 66
L = 66

check:
P = 2W + 2L = 2*44 + 2*66 = 88 + 132 = 220

Answer 4

is this what you were looking for? makes sense ok?
