The perimeter of a rectangle is 37. The length is 1 less than 12 times the width. What is the length and width of the rectangle
?
1 answer:
Width = W
Length = 12W - 1
Perimeter = 2L + 2W = 37
In the perimeter equation substitute the length equation in for L to get the equation in terms of W
2L + 2W = 37
2(12W - 1) + 2w = 37
Distribute
2(12W - 1) + 2w = 37
24W - 2 + 2w = 37
26W = 39
W = 3/2 = 1.5
Width = 1.5
Lastly, solve for length
L = 12W - 1
L = (12 • 1.5) - 1
L = 18 - 1
L = 17
Length = 17

Answer:
h = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute the 2 to the parentheses:
5h + 2(11 - h) = -5
5h + 22 - 2h = -5
Add like terms:
3h + 22 = -5
3h = -27
h = -9
