Answer:
Width of the rectangle = 10 feet
Length of the rectangle = 25 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)
Let
Width of the rectangle = x feet
Length of the rectangle = 3x - 5 feet
Perimeter of the rectangle = 70 feet
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)
70 = 2{x + (3x - 5)}
70 = 2{x + 3x - 5}
70 = 2(4x - 5)
70 = 8x - 10
70 + 10 = 8x
80 = 8x
Divide both sides by 8
x = 80 / 8
= 10
Width of the rectangle = 10 feet
Length of the rectangle = 3(10) - 5
= 30 - 5
= 25 feet
13 - (x+2) = 8
subtract 13 from both sides
-(x+2) = -5
divide by -1 to get rid of negative
(x+2) = 5
subtract 2 from both sides
x=3
I think you forgot to post the figure because i do not see any sort of figure.
