Question

The length of a rectangle is seven more than double the width. If the perimeter is 22 inches find the dimensions

Answer 1

Answer:

width = 1 1/3 inches

length = 9 2/3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'w' = width

let '7+2w' = length

P = 2l + 2w

22 = 2w + 2(7+2w)

22 = 2w + 14 + 4w

8 = 6w

w = 4/3 or 1 1/3

substitute 1 1/3, or 4/3, to find length:

l = 7 + 2(4/3)

l = 7 + 8/3 or 9 2/3
