Question

The area of a rectangle is
35 m^2
, and the length of the rectangle is
3 m
more than twice the width. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answer 1

area = length * width
length = 3 more than twice the width
width = width

If we substitute length in our formula, it becomes:
area = (3 more than twice the width) * width

which can be rewritten as:
35 = (3+2w)(3)
And solve for w to get width. You know how to do that right?

Once you have the width, the length is "2 more than twice the width"
which is the same as (width*2) + 3

Got it? :D
