Question

A rectangle’s perimeter is 86in . Its length is 9in longer than its width. Use an equation to find the rectangle’s length and width.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width be x

So length would be x + 9

If perimeter is 86, then

2(l+b) = 86

2(x + x+9) = 86

4x + 18 = 86

4x = 68

X = 17

Check:

2(x + x + 9) = 86

2(17 + 17 + 9) = 86

2(43) = 86

86 = 86

Here you go
