L + L + W + W = 14

anonymous · Answer

L + L + W + W = 14

L = W + 1

W + 1 + W + 1 + W + W = 14

can you do the rest?

anonymous · Answer

No I Really Need The Help

anonymous · Answer

The perimeter is 14 so L + L + W + W = 14
You get that?

anonymous · Answer

So Its 14

anonymous · Answer

It's 1 meter longer than it's wide so 

L = W + 1

Get that?

anonymous · Answer

Yes

anonymous · Answer

So, now i write W+1 instead of L in the first equation:

( W + 1 ) + ( W + 1 ) + W + W = 14

get that?

anonymous · Answer

OK

anonymous · Answer

Now we add it all up and get the answer

W + W + W + W + 1 + 1 = 14
4W + 2 = 14
4W = 14 - 2
4W = 12
W = 12/4
W = 3

And if W = 3 then L = 3+1 = 4
