The length of a rectangle is two more than the width. If the perimeter is 100? feet, what is the length and? width?

Question

I have forgotten how to write the formula out in order to solve this equation.

Answer 1

Perimeter  =  2 * l + 2* w  

 

l  = w + 2  

 

perimeter  =  2 * (w+2) + 2 w  =  100   

4w + 4  =  100  

 

w = 24  

l =26
