Question

The length of a rectangle is 5 more than 3 times its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 58 inches. What is the length of the rectangle?

Answer 1

let length = L and width = W

set up a system of equations from the info given:-
L = 3W + 5

2L + 2W = 58 ( since perimeter = 2L + 2W)

now solve these 2 equations to get the values of L and W

Answer 2
