Question

The length of a rectangle is 4 more than twice the width length. The perimeter is 28. What is the LENGTH?

Answer 1

Answer:

10$\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width length be x.

Width length = x

Length = 2x + 4

Perimeter = width + length + width + length

                = x + 2x + 4 + x + 2x + 4

                = 6x + 8

6x + 8 = 28

6x = 28 - 8

    = 20

x = 20 ÷ 6

x = 3$\frac{1}{3}$

Length (2x + 4) = 2(3$\frac{1}{3}$) + 4

                         = 6$\frac{2}{3}$ + 4

                         = 10$\frac{2}{3}$
