Answer 2

Isolating it is what you meant, right?

Answer 3

yes and no, i need to know like the actual answer. in all im trying to figure out what the length is. but it says i have to find out what the width is first

Answer 4

Well the width would be 1866 --> 18.7

Answer 5

Answer 6

okay. so...from there how would i find out the length?

Answer 7

Answer 15

where did you get the equation from
How do i find the width? 3w + L = 56 ft
?

Answer 16

the perimeter is 56. the width is 3 times the length. L=3w. 3w + L = 56 ft

Answer 17

You should say
perimeter of a rectangle is 2(L+W)
which, in this case, equals 56
2(L+W)=56

you say
***the width is 3 times the length*** (which means W= 3L)
and you say
***L=3w (which means length is 3 times the width

which is it?

let's say W= 3L
replace W with 3L in the first equation
2(L+3L)= 56

now solve for L

Answer 18

Ohh, missed that
