Question

The length of a rectangle is 3 inches more than its width.

Answer 1

Answer:

X=15

Step-by-step explanation:

Ignore the increase for equasion. This is factored in but irellevent. Orignal x value is 13, but increases to 15, and orignal x value is not needed for this equasion. (its there to confuse you)

L+L+W+W=66.

(w+3) +(w+3) +w +w = 66

(4xw) + 3 +3= 66

4 x w = 66 -3 -3

4 x w =60

60/4= 15.

L= 15+ 3 =18

W = 15.

W + W + L + L

15 + 15 + 18 +18 =66
