Problema Solution

The perimeter of a rectangular table is 488 centimeters. If the length of the table is 28 centimeters more than twice the width of the​ table, find the dimensions of the table

Answer provided by our tutors

Let 'w' represent the width of the table, then '2w+28' represents the length.  Perimeter is 2*width + 2*length:

2w+2(2w+28)=488
