Question

The length of a rectangle is 6 more than twice its width. The
perimeter is 36 inches. Find the width of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

The width of the rectangle is 4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The  perimeter is 36 inches.

The length of a rectangle is 6 more than twice its width.

$l=6+2w$

The perimeter of the rectangle is $P=2(l+w)$.

$36=2(6+2w+w)\\18=6+3w\\3w=12\\w=4\, \text{inches}$
