Question

The length of a rectangle is 3 meters more than the width. If the perimeter is 170 meters, what are the length and the width?

Answer 1

41,44

Explanation:

make the width x. lenght = x+3.

so, the perimeter will be x+x+3+x+x+3=170.

Simplifiyng, 4x+6=170

subtract six from both sides. Get 4x=164

Divide by 4. Get x=41

add three. Get length = 44
