The perimeter of a rectangle is 36 yards. the width is 18 yards less than twice the length. find the length and the width of the rectangle

The formula for perimeter is P = 2L + 2W.

 Here W = 2L-18 and 2L + 2W = 36.  Subst. 2L-18 for W:

2L + 2(2L-18) = 36.  Then 6L - 36 = 36, and 6L = 72.   Therefore, L = 12 yd.

W = 2(12 yd) - 18 yd = 24 yd - 18 yd = 6 yd

The rectangle's dimensions are 6 yd (width) by 12 yd (length).

Note that P = 2(6) + 2(12) = 36, as required.

Answer for 2: his profit would be $2.88 explanation: you have to first multiply 72 and 0.12 together to get $8.64 once you do that you know how much money the shopkeeper made from selling the candy bars individually. so you have to do 8.64-5.76=2.88 hope that ; )answer for 3: yeah i’m sorry i have no idea what number 3 is. i’m sorry i couldn’t with that.
