The length of a rectangle is 2 more than 5 times its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 88 inches. What is the length of the rectangle?

32 in.
37 in.
42 in.
47 in.

Answer 1

The perimeter of a rectangle is 2L + 2W.
Substitute in your other variables.
2(5 + 2x) + 2(x) = perimeter
10 + 4x + 2x = 88
10 + 6x = 88
6x = 78
x = 13

We stated earlier that x = the width.
Therefore, the width is 13 feet.
Length = 5 + 2x
= 5 + 2(13)
= 5 + 26
= 31

Answer 2

Where 32 come from... idk

Answer 3

ok so I got 37...I tried them all but with 37 I added 37 + 37 since there are 2 sides, then I got 74 after that I took 88(whole perimeter) and subtracted it from 74 and I got14 which is both the sides together so I divided that by 2 and got 7


if you take 7*5+2 you get 37 which is right

Answer 4

@SuperflyTyGuy and @maybubble does that make sense to both of you guys

Answer 5
