the perimeter of a rectangle is 44cm. the length is 7 more then twice the width. what is the length/width?
width of the rectangle: W
length of the rectangle: L
the perimeter: p=2∗(L+W)=44cmorL+W=22cm(1)
the length is 7 more then twice the width: L=7cm+2WorL−2W=7cm(2)
(1)−(2):L−L⏟=0+W−(−2W)⏟=3W=22cm−7cm⏟=15cm3W=15cm|:3W=5cm
L+W=22cmL=22cm−WL=22cm−5cmL=17cm
