the length of a rectangle is (2x+4) and the width is (3x-2) with a perimeter of 104. Write and solve an equation for the length and width of the rectangle. Then explain your answer.

Answer :

HemlockTea
L= 2x+4 W= 3x-2 P= 104
P= 2L+2W 104= 2(2x+4)+2(3x-2)
104= 4x+8+6x-4 104= 10x+4
100= 10x 10=x. You can then solve for length and width.
L= 2(10)+4= 24 W= 3(10)-2= 28
