Problema Solution

The perimeter I have a rectangular table is 24 feet. The length is 7 feetmore than the width. Write to equations that model the situation

Answer provided by our tutors

Let

w = the width

l = The length

The perimeter is 24 feet means:

2l + 2w = 24

Since length is 7 feet more than the width we have the equation:

l = w + 6

The equations that model the situation are:

2l + 2w = 24

l = w + 6
