Using this formula, compute the length of a rectangle with a perimeter of 40.2in and width of 6.7in.

Question

the formula is

P= 24

L= 3+ W

P= 2L + 2W

24= 2 (3+W) + 2W

24= 6 + 2W + 2W

24= 6+ 4W

18 = 4W

W= 18/4 = 9/4 = 4.5

L= 3 + W= 3 + 4.5 = 7.5

what’s the answer & how can i show my work for this?

Answer 1

The steps I added are in bold

Given information:

P= 24

L= 3+ W

Formula for perimeter P= 2L + 2W

Substitute the values of P and L into the formula: 24 = 2 (3+W) + 2W

Distribute the 2: 24 = 2x3+2xW+2W

Simplify: 24= 6 + 2W + 2W

Combine like terms: 24= 6+ 4W

Subtract 6: -6 -6

18 = 4W

Divide by 4: W= 18/4 = 9/4 = 4.5

L= 3 + W= 3 + 4.5 = 7.5
