Perimeter= 2w+2l
l=w+5

Substitute for l
p= 2w+2(w+5)
p= 2w+2w+10
p= 4w+10
58=4w+10
48=4w
12= w

Plug in the width to find length.
l= 12+5
l=17

Final answer: Length-17 cm, Width-12 cm

Write two equations:
l + w = 58
l + 5 = w
substitute and solve
l + l + 5 = 58
2l = 53
l=26.5
w=31.5
26.5cm x 31.5cm

The length of a rectangle has a measure of x and the width of a rectangle has a measure of (x-2). Find x if the area is 35.
Oliga [24]

Answer:

length = 7

pls mark me the brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

A = Lw

35 = x (x -2)

35 = x2 - 2x

x2 -2x -35 = 0

(x-7)(x+5) = 0  

x-7=0

x=7       (we won't use the other factor since it would give us a negative length

so length = 7
