Question

The length of a rectangle is 2 more than 3 times the width. If the perimeter is 100, find the length and width of the rectangle.

If l = length and w = width, which of the following systems could be used to solve the problem?

l = 3w + 2 and 2l + 2w = 100
l = 2w + 3 and 2l + 2w = 100
l + 2 = 3w and 2l + 2w = 100

Answer 1

last one?

Answer 2

The length is 2 more than 3*width. Just translate into math speak. length = 2 + 3*width to make it look better l=2+3w

Answer 3

so its the first one?

Answer 4

Yea

Answer 5

Oh okay, thanks:)

Answer 6

Ye no problem (:
