Problema Solution

The length of a rectangle is 2 cm more than twice its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 40 cm, find the length of the rectangle.

Answer provided by our tutors

Length: x

Width: y

So,  x=2y+2

      2(x+y)=40

So,

          x=2y+2

          x+y=20

Solve for x and y to get

            x=14

            y=6
