Solve the following for w, the width:
2 (w + 4 w) = 150

trojanpoem · Answer

Let the width be x 

length = 4 width = 4x

|dw:1451414168806:dw|

Perimeter = sum of all sides

x + 4x + 4x + x = 150
10x = 150
x = 15

should really go step by step

nuttyliaczar · Answer

Set up an equation to represent this scenario. L=4W, and P=150=2(L+W)=2(4W+W)=2(5W)
