Question

The perimeter of a retangle is 34ft. the lenght is 3ft longer than the width. Find the demensions. Write a system of linear equation and solvethe resulting system. Let x be the length and y be the width. write the first equation

Answer 1

I disagree with this answer. the dimensions will be 7 & 10.
4x=28

Answer 2

if the rectangle measures 34, you have to subtract the extra 3 from the long sides and turn it into a square, this gives you 7 per side, now add the 3 back to your two longer sides. you will have to do your own linear equation, because mine would be wrong,
2x+[(2y)+6]=34
2x+2y=34-6
4x7=28
do you see what I mean? you have to do the linear equation

Answer 3

so what is the next step do I divide

Answer 4

2x=14
1x=7
x+3=y
y=10

do have the first person's response? i don't know how to write it out so that your teacher will accept it.
