Answer:
L=33in
W=15in
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given
let the width be x
W=x inches
L= 2x+3 inches
perimeter= 96inches
Step two:
Required
the dimensions of the rectangle
The perimeter is
P=2L+2W
96=2(2x+3)+2(x)
open bracket
96=4x+6+2x
collect like terms
96-6=6x
90=6x
divide both sides by 6
x=90/6
x=15 in
The width is 15 in
The length
L=2x+3
L=2(15)+3
L=30+3
L=33in
