Solve using elimination
First, we eliminate x.
Subtract equation (1) from (2)
Divide through ny 7
Take
Make x^2 the subject
Substitute 4 for y
Take square roots
It is impossible to draw a parallelogram with 4 parallel lines (or to draw any quadrilateral with 4 parallel lines, for that matter).
1. First, let us define the width of the rectangle as w and the length as l.
2. Now, given that the length of the rectangle is 6 in. more than the width, we can write this out as:
l = w + 6
3. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2w + 2l. We know that the perimeter of the rectangle in the problem is 24 in. so we can rewrite this as:
24 = 2w + 2l
4. Given that we know that l = w + 6, we can substitute this into the formula for the perimeter above so that we will have only one variable to solve for. Thus:
24 = 2w + 2l
if l = w + 6, then: 24 = 2w + 2(w + 6)
24 = 2w + 2w + 12 (Expand 2(w + 6) )
24 = 4w + 12
12 = 4w (Subtract 12 from each side)
w = 12/4 (Divide each side by 4)
w = 3 in.
5. Now that we know that the width is 3 in., we can substitute this into our formula for length that we found in 2. :
l = w + 6
l = 3 + 6
l = 9 in.
6. Therefor the rectangle has a width of 3 in. and a length of 9 in.
