Which is the best equation to use to solve this problem?

The perimeter of a rectangle is 68 ft. The ratio of the length to the width is 9 : 8. What are the dimensions of the rectangle?
A. 9x+8x=68
B. 2x+2x=68
C. 9x+9x+8x+8x=68
D. 9x
--- = 68
8x

Answer 1

2 * L + 2 * W = 68

2*L = 2* 9x = 9x + 9x

2*W = 2*8x = 8x + 8x

Since the perimeter is 68

9x + 9x + 8x + 8x = 68
