Answer 1

Answer:

width = 10

length = 2 (10) + 7 = 27

Step 1:

If the perimeter was 74 inches, then that means one side of the width and one side of the length added together is 1/2 of 74, which is 37.

Step 2:

We can solve this by using this equation:

2w + 7 + w = 37

Then, we subtract 7 from both sides, since in the passage, it states that the length is 7 more than twice the width.

2w + w = 30

Add the w's together:

3w = 30

And then divide both sides by 3 to get:

w = 10

Step 3:

Now, we can plug in w into our equation to solve for the width and length.

width = 10

length = 2 (10) + 7 = 27
