The length of a rectangle is 4 inches more than its width, and its perimeter is 34 inches. Find the length and width of the rectangle. Find the width of the rectangle. Type a numerical answer in the space provided. Do not include labels or spaces in your answer. wouldnt the answer be 4.5 is the width

OpenStudy (anonymous):

length = w+7 34=2w+2(w+7) (w is the width) 34=4w+14 (distribute 2 into w+7 and add to 2w) 20=4w (subtract 14 from each side) 5=w (divide each side by 4) width = 5, length =12 (using first equation l=w+7)
