Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 158 meters.The length is 7 more than the twice the width.Wrote and solve the system to determine the measure of the length and width of the rectangle

Answer 1

Answer:

36 and 43

Step-by-step explanation:

let, length be (x+7) and width be x.

here,

perimeter of rectangle=2(l*w)

or,158=2(x+7*x)

or,158=4x+14

or,158-14=4x

or,144=4x

or,144÷4=x

x=36

width=36

length=x+7

=36+7

=43
