The length of a rectangle is 5 feet more than the with the perimeter of a rectangle is 58 feet find the width of the rectangle does anybody know the answer?

Question

I'm trying to understand the applications for systems of equations.

Answer 1

Your question is garbled in the middle.

 

What is perimeter of a rectangle? 

 

P = 2L + 2W, where L is length and W is width.

 

IF the length is 5 feet longer than the width, then L = W + 5.

 

Substitute this in the perimeter relationship and solve for W...
