The length of the rectangle is 51 inches while the width of the rectangle is 28 inches.

Since Kristin wants to wrap a ribbon around the perimeter of a rectangle, the perimeter of a rectangle P = 2(L + W) where L = length of rectangle and W = width of rectangle.

Given that the perimeter of the rectangle, P = 56 inches and the length of the rectangle, L is five less than twice the width of the rectangle, W we have that

L = 2W - 5

Substituting L into P, we have

P = 2(2W - 5 + W)

P = 2(W - 5)

Since P = 56, we have

2(W - 5) = 56

~Dividing both sides by 2, we have

W - 5 = 56/2

W - 5 = 23

Adding 5 to both sides, we have

W = 23 + 5

W = 28 inches

Substituting W into L, we have

L = 2W - 5

L = 2(28) - 5

L = 56 - 5

L = 51 inches

So, the length of the rectangle is 51 inches while the width of the rectangle is 28 inches.

Tomtit [17]
Well first you would, subtract the gift certificate amount from the video game. Then you would subtract his total cash from the cost of the video game. The equation would look something like this: 45.50 - (59.95 - 15.25). The answer to your problem is yes he would have enough.
