A rectangle has a perimeter of 64 inches. The length of the rectangle is 7 inches more than 2 times its width.

Answer 1

2(2x+7) + 2x = 64

4x + 14 + 2x = 64

6x + 14 = 64

6x = 50

x = 50/6 = 25/3

width is 25/3 = 8 + 1/3 = 8.33333...............

length is 2(25/3) + 7 = 50/3 + 7 = 50/3 + 21/3 = 71/3 = 23 + 2/3 = 23.66666666......

2( 71/3) + 2(25/3) = 142/3 + 50/3 = 192/3 = 64
