So in this problem as it says, there is a rectangle. Now the length of this rectangle is four times as long as the width.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It also says the perimeter of the rectangle is 130 cm.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So we can call the shorter side x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The width will be x. (Sorry)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The length is 4x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So in a shape, you add the lengths of the sides to find the perimeter.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x+x+4x+4x=130

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So now solve for x using the above.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For your first step.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (kimberlyevens):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so you have x+x+4x+4x=130

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First we add the x's together to get 10x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you understand how I got 10x?

Hey satellite is it cool if I go ahead and explain the problem or is better if I just wait so they can do it with me.

@BigPoppa117, it's best to wait for the user so that it is interactive. We can't give them the answer- they have to find that for themself. To avoid giving the answer, it's easiest if we wait for their reply so it's more interactive.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay cool thanks.

OpenStudy (.th3_m0nst3r.):

Also, keep in mind that if they are asking for just the answer, report them immediately. They're only looking to cheat.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thanks again.

OpenStudy (.th3_m0nst3r.):

You're welcome! (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm gonna go. If you need me again Kimberly, just message me or something. Thanks!
