Set up an equation and solve. The width of a rectangle is 3 more than twice its length. The perimeter is 72 centimeters. Find he width and length of the rectangle.

Answer 1

NO

the length is 3 more than twice the width.

The LENGTH IS ALWAYS longer than the width.

w + (2w+3) + w + (2w+3) = 72

6w + 6 = 72

6w = 66

w=11

L = 2*11+3 = 22+3 = 25
