In a rectangle, the length is six more than twice the width. If the perimeter is 60inches, what is the width of the rectangle?

Question

I never did learn this, and I’m confused so can you please explain this to me.

Answer 1

W = width

L = length = 2W + 6

Perimeter:

2(L + W) = 2[(2W + 6) + W] = 60

6W + 12 = 60

W = (60 - 12)/6 in = 8 in
