The perimiter of a standerd-sized rectangle rug is 32 ft. the length is 2ft longer than the width. find the dimensions.

Question

I suck at word problems and need help.

Answer 1

length = Width + 2 

(length + width) times 2 = 32

simplify to length + width  = 16

Substitute (width + 2) for length and you have it.

Once you know width, you can calculate length from step one.
