Question

In a poster making contest, you are required that the rectangular poster must have a perimeter of 34 inches. You need to find the dimensions of the poster if the length is 2 inches more than twice the width.

Answer 1

Answer: width=5, length=12

Answer 2

width = 5

length = 12

Explanation:

34 = x + (2x+2) + x + (2x+2)

34 = 6x + 4

30 = 6x

5 = x

x = width

y = 2x+2

y = 2(5)+2

y = 10 + 2

y = 12
