A rectangle has a perimeter of 26 feet. Twice its length (l) is one foot more than three times its width (w). What is the length of the rectangle, in feet?

hartnn (hartnn):

Twice its length (l) = 2l is one foot more than three times its width (w). so, 2l -1 = 3w got this ?

hartnn (hartnn):

perimeter = 26 = 2 (l+w) now you have 2 equations and 2 unknowns, can you find l and w ?
