Question

Andy is baking a rectangular cake with a perimeter of 76 cm. The length of the cake is four less than double the width. What are the dimensions of the cake?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 52 /3

Step-by-step explanation:

let width be x

length is 2x- 4

perimeter =2(l+b)

96cm = 2 ( 2x -4 + x)

48 = 3x -4

48 + 4 = 3x

52 = 3x

x= 52 /3
