Question

A rectangle has a length of x + 2, a width of 7, and a perimeter of 32.

the value of x is=

Answer 1

For a rectangle, its perimeter is equal to twice its length plus twice its width, or:
\[P=2l + 2w\] Since we have the length, width, and perimeter, we can plug in:
\[32=2(x+2) + 2(7)\] or:
\[18=2x+4\] Simplifying we find:
\[x=7\]
