Answer: Width= 7 in.
Length= 10 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]l=w+3[/tex]
The perimeter of the rectangle is 34 inches.
[tex]2(w+l)=34[/tex]
substitute
[tex]2(w+w+3)=34[/tex]
[tex]2(2w+3)=34[/tex]
distributive property [tex]a(b+c)=ab+ac[/tex]
[tex]2\cdot 2w+2\cdot 3=34[/tex]
[tex]4w+6=34[/tex]
[tex]4w+6-6=34-6[/tex]
[tex]4w=28[/tex]
divide 4 on both sides
[tex]w=7[/tex]
Width is 7 inches
substitute w=7 in equation [tex]l=w+3[/tex]
[tex]l=7+3[/tex]
[tex]l=10[/tex]
Length is 10 inches
