Question

The length of a rectangle is 5 less than twice its width. The perimeter is 26 meters.

Answer 1

Answer:

Length = 7m

Width = 6m

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume we have to find the length and the width of the rectangle here

Let the width (b) of the given rectangle be x

ATQ, length (l) = 2x - 5

Now we are given that the perimeter of the rectangle is 26m

2(l + b) = 26

2[ (2x - 5) + x ] = 26

2(3x - 5) = 26

3x - 5 = 13

3x = 13 + 5

x = 18/3

x = 6

Hence, width = 6m

Length = 2(6) - 5 = 12 - 5 = 7m
