Question

The length of a rectangle is 2 inches more than twice its width, and its perimeter is 60 inches. Find the length and width of the rectangle.

If w = the width of the rectangle, then the length equals _____.

Answer 1

Well you can setup some equations...

So:
Length=2+2*width
Width=width
Perimeter=60=2+2w+2+2w+w+w
(This is adding the two length and two width sides)

That should get you on the right track, just solve for w or the width and go from there :)
