P = Perimeter            

L = Length          

W = Width

Perimeter of rectangle = L + L + W + W        

or P = 2L + 2W

You know:

P = 36 inches

L = 2W          [length is(=) 2 times it's width]

W = ?

P = 2L + 2W    

Substitute/plug in what you know, plug in 2W for L since L = 2W

36 = 2(2W) + 2W         Simplify

36 = 4W + 2W

36 = 6W        Divide 6 on both sides

6 = W              Now that you know the width, you can find the length:

L = 2W

L = 2(6)

L = 12

L = 12 in

W = 6 in

PROOF

P = 2(12) + 2(6)

P = 24 + 12

P = 36

Two Grade 7 students, Monique and Matt, both solved the following math problem: If the temperature drops from 7°F to -17°F, by h
nadya68 [22]

Answer: It decreased by 24F not 10F because if it were 10F the starting temperature had to be -7F since the difference between this number and -17F is 10F but in this case it starts at 7F so we subtract 7-0=7 and 17-0=17 and add 17+7=24F.

Step-by-step explanation:

7-0=7

17-0=17

17+7=24F
