Answer:
The length of the rectangle is 15 inches and the width is 33 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The dimensions for the rectangle are as follows:
L=L and W=2L+3
The equation for perimeter of a rectangle is:
P=2l+2w
To Solve:
1. Plug values into perimeter equation
96=2(L)+2(2L+3)
2. Simplify the equation above.
96=2L+4L+6
3. Combine like terms:
96=6L+6
4. Solve for L by subtracting 6 from both sides:
90=6L
5. Solve for L by dividing both sides by 6:
15=L.
6. Plug 15 into the equation for the width:
2(15)+3=w
30+3=w.
