Question

The length of a rectangle is 6 inches longer than its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 28 inches. If x represents the width

of the rectangle in inches, which equation can be used to find its value?
X + 6 + 2x = 28
6x + 6x + x + x = 28
2(x + 6) = 28
21x + 6) + 2x = 28

Answer 1

2(x + 6) + 2x = 28

Step-by-step explanation

Answer 2

28 = 2( 2x + 6)

Explanation:

Length = 6 + x

Width = x

Perimeter = 28

To find its value

Perimeter = 2(l + w)

28 = 2( x + 6 + x)

28 = 2( 2x + 6)
