The length of a rectangle is 5 centimeters less than twice it’s width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 80 cm. What are the dim
ensions of the rectangle?
1 answer:
<h3><u>The length is equal to 25.</u></h3><h3><u>The width is equal to 15.</u></h3>
l = 2w - 5
2l + 2w = 80
We have a value for l, so we can plug it into the second equation to solve for w.
2(2w - 5) + 2w = 80
Distributive property.
4w - 10 + 2w = 80
Combine like terms.
6w - 10 = 80
Add 10 to both sides.
6w = 90
Divide both sides by 6.
w = 15
Now that we have a value for w, we can plug it into the original equation to solve for l.
l = 2(15) - 5
l = 30 - 5
l = 25

You need to combine like terms
The answer is c.
I will explain
p - 2r = q
1. Move variable to the right by adding it’s opposites on both sides
p - 2r + 2r = q + 2r
2. Eliminate the opposites (-2r and +2r)
p = q + 2r
