1. Write an equation that shows how to find the perimeter using the given lengths.

2. Identify the length of the rectangle.

3. Identify the width of the rectangle.

I know this is asking a lot, but I'll become a fan, and give a medal to whoever answers.

Answer 1

so perimeter is 2L + 2w, you have the perimeter and the length and width (the variables are still those values) so try making an equation.

Answer 2

I'm very poor when it comes to stuff like this,
but is 1. (2x + 3) * x?

Answer 3

nope, so its going to be p = 2l + 2w
or, 19.8 = 2(x) + 2(2x +3)

Answer 4

do you understand so far?

Answer 5

Barely

Answer 6

haha, thats probably okay:) do you know how to solve for x using the equation I gave you?
