The perimeter of a piece of paper is 19.5 inches. The length is 6 inches less than twice the width. What are the dimensions of the paper?

Answer 1

19.5 = 2(2W-6) + 2W

6W = 19.5+12 = 31..5

W = 31.5/6= 5 1/4

L=10 1/2 - 6 = 4 1/2

dimensions are 5.25 by 4.5 inches

5 1/4 + 4 1/2= 9 3/4

9 3/4 x 2= 19 1/2
