The length of a rectangle is 3 inches more than its width. If the perimeter is 42 inches, find the dimensions of the rectangle.

1 answer:

8 0

P = 2w + 2l where w is the width, and l is the length. We know the length (l) is 3 inches longer than it's width (or l = w+3). Substitute w +3 into Perimeter equation. P = 2w + 2(w+3).

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

$18.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

Kate had a sum of money,she spent 1/8 of the money on a skirt and the remaining amount on a handbag

let the total money be x

so mathematically

x-1/8*x= 16

solve for x

x-x/8= 16

8x-x/8= 16

7x/8=16

cross multiply

7x= 8*16

7x=128

divide both sides by 7

x=128/7

x=$18.28
