fine I give up on this question

damed
OpenStudy (wolf1728):
L + W = 11
L-2 = 2W

don't get it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
as per the question the length is 2m less than twice the breadth
twice the breadth gives = 2x
2m less gives 2x-2
got it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
breadth is the same as width
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so what is the equation

I think my second equation is wrong.
Working out the answer by trial and error
Think it is Length = 6.66666 Width = 4.3333333

@darkknight321:
Can u write for me the formula to find the rigtangle around :)
PLEASE :)

|dw:1379228340854:dw|
perimeter of any rectangle on this earth=2(length + breadth)
length=2x-2
breadth=x
perimeter=11
11=2(2x-2+x)
11/2=2x-2+x<--------------------taking the 2 on otherside of the equation
5.5=3x-2
solve for x(width) and then reply!
