The length of a rectangle is five less than twice the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 110. Find the dimensions of the rectangle. 22. Let L represent the length and W represent the width. Write a system of equations.(only need help with 22 )
Step 1
Let width = w
Length = 2w - 5
2L + 2w = 110
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2Length = 2Width
110 = 2(2w - 5) + 2(w)
110 = 4w - 10 + 2w
110 + 10= 4w + 2w
120 = 6w
w = 120/6
w = 20
width = 20
Length = 2(20) - 5
= 40 - 5
= 35
