Question

The length of a rectangle is 16m less than 2 times its breadth.if the perimeter of a rectangle is 112 find the length and breadth

Answer 1

let length=x and breadth=y
x=2y-16    .....(1)
2x+2y=112
4y-32+2y=112   (from 1)
6y=144
y=24
x=2y-16=48-16=32

length=24
breadth=32

i hope this helps!!

Answer 2

Hlo friend

Here ur steps of ur sum

let length be x
breadth be y
x=2y-16
2x+2y=112
4y-32+2y=112
6y=144
y=24
x=2y-16
=48-16
=32
So,therefore length is 24 and breadth is 32
