Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the rectangle are two unknowns: The length "l" and the width "w"

The perimeter of a rectangle is found as P = 2*l + 2*w

We also know that the length is 5cm more than twice the width. l = 2*w + 5

These two equations gives us a system of linear equations.

P = 2*l + 2*w

l = 2*w + 5

We can use substitution to replace the "l" in the first equation with 2*w + 5

P = 2*(2*w + 5) + 2*w

P = 4*w + 10 + 2*w

P = 6*w + 10

we know the perimeter is 70

70 = 6* w + 10

subtract 10 from both sides

60 = 6* w

w = 10

Now that we know the width, we can find the length by substituting 10 for "w" in the second equation.

l = 2* 10 + 5

l = 20 +5

l = 25

the dimentions of the rectangle are 25cm x 10 cm

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

2x+2y ≤ 64

x=2y+2

Step-by-step explanation:

x = length

y = width

the length is 2 more than twice the width or 2 more than twice y

x = 2+2y

the perimeter of the garden = 2 times the length + 2 times the width

she have 64ft of wire so the perimeter should be equal or less than 64 ft

64 ≥ 2x + 2y
