Question

if the perimeter of the rectangle is 96 feet, what are the length and width of the rectangular section?

Answer 1

length is 39ft

width is 9ft

Explanation:

let 6x - 15 be the length and x be the width

the perimeter of a rectangle is 2(L+W)

96 = 2(6x - 15 + x)

96 = 2(7x - 15)

96 = 14x - 30

126 = 14x

x = 9

Length is 6x - 15

6(9) - 15

54 - 15 = 39
