Problema Solution
The length of a rectangular jewelry box is 5 inches more than twice the width. The perimeter is 46 inches. Find the length and width.
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'w' represent the width in inches, then '2w+5' represents the length
perimeter = 2(length+width)
46 = 2(w+2w+5)
46 = 6w+10
36 = 6w
w = 6
2*6+5 = 17
the jewelry box is 6 inches wide and 17 inches long
