Question

2L + 2W = 88 L = W + 12 What are the dimensions?

Answer 1

Answer:the length of the rectangle is 28

The width of the rectangle is 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are set up to determine the dimensions of a rectangle. L represents the length of the rectangle. W represents the width of the rectangle. Let us label

2L + 2W = 88 as equation 1.

We would substitute L = W + 12 into equation 1, it becomes

2(W + 12) + 2W = 88

2W + 24 + 2W = 88

4W + 24 = 88

4W = 88 - 24 = 64

W = 64/4 = 16

Substituting W = 16 into L = W + 12, it becomes

L = 16 + 12 = 28
