Question

The width of a rectangle is 6 in. less than its length. The perimeter is 68 in.

What is the width of the rectangle?
i think its 14 inches

Answer 1

Width= Length -6
Perimeter = 2( width + length)

Answer 2

Length = L
Width = L - 6
4L-12 = 68
4L=80
L=20inches
W=14 inches

Answer 3

So then perimeter = 2(length- 6+length)
68=2( 2 length -6)
68=4 length -12
4 x length = 80
Length= 20

Answer 4

so its not 14 its 20 ?

Answer 5

Going back to the first equation
width= length -6
width = 20-6
width = 14

Answer 6

It is 14 @jordanloveangel
