Question

A rectangle has a perimeter of 34 cm. It’s length is 5 more than twice it’s width.Write and solve a system of equations to find the length of the rectangle

Answer 1

Answer:

Length = 13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Length (L) = 2 x Width (W) + 5

2 x (L + W) = 34

2 x (2W + 5 + W) = 34

6W + 10 = 34

6W = 34-10 = 24

W=4

L = 13
