Question

the length of a rectangle is 7 less than 5 times the width, the perimeter is 622 meters, what are the length and the width.

Answer 1

Let the width of rectangle = x m

Then length would be 5x-7m

Perimeter = 622

2(x+5x-7) = 622

Divide to each side by 2.

6x-7 = 311

Add 7 to each side.

6x = 318

Divide to each side by 6.

x = 53

Width x = 53m

Length(5x-7) = 265-7 = 258m
