Question

The length of a rectangle is 4 meters less than 2 times the width of the perimeter is 40 meters. Find the width.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"length is 4 meters less than 2 times the width"

L = 2W+4

"perimeter is 40 meters"

2L+2W = 40

L+W = 20

(2W+4) + W = 20

3W + 4 = 20

W = 16/3 meters
