Problema Solution
Tracy needs to find the length and width of a storage room. The room is 1 meter longer than it is wide. The perimeter is 14 meters.
Answer provided by our tutors
let
l = the length of the room
w = the width of the room
The room is 1 meter longer than it is wide:
l = w + 1
The perimeter is 14 meters:
2(l + w) = 14
by solving the system of equations:
l = w + 1
2(l + w) = 14
we find:
l = 4 m
w = 3 m
