The length of a rectangle is 5 feet more than twice the width. the perimeter is 28 feet. find the length and width.
if the with of the rectangle is x, then the equation is
the with of the rectangle is , the length of the rectangle is

First, you will need to simply the equation of 2(5+ 2x + x)=28 to get the final equation of 10 + 6x=28. To solve for the width, you will need to do (28-10) divided by 6 and get 3 feet as the width. To solve for the length, you need to do 3(2) + 5 to get 11 feet as the length. Therefore, the equation is 10 + 6x=28 and the length of the rectangle is 11 feet and the width of the rectangle is 3 feet.
