Question

Translate into equation (no need solution): PLS HELPP
The perimeter of a rectangle whose length exceeds thrice its width by 5cm

Answer 1

let's call its width W and its length L:

Answer 2

We want to relate L and W in an equation
So let's look at this sentence:
''length exceeds thrice its width by 5cm''

Answer 3

Let's ignore the thrice part for a second.
How can we say Length exceeds width by 5, in the form of an equation?

Answer 4

It should be L = W+5, right?
So now let's think about the last part: ''Length exceeds THRICE the width plus 5''
So what do we need to put in our equation at this point?
