The perimeter of a rectangle is 53 meters.the length is 2.3 meters longer than the width w. Write and solve an equation to find the width of the rectangle.
P=53m rectangle has 4 sides so 53/4=13.25 2.3/2=1.15 13.25-1.15=12.1width 13.25+1.15=14.4length 14.4-12.1=2.3 difference in meters between length and width
