The length of a rectangle is 2 centimeters more than five times the width. The perimeter is 114 inches. Find the width and the length.

Respuesta :

1. Let L=length and W=width
2. L=5w+2
3. The perimeter can be solved as follows:
(5w+2) + (5w+2) + w + w = 114 in
12w + 4 = 114 in
12w = 110
w = 110/12
w = 9.17
L = 47.83
