Question

The length of a rectangle is represented by 2x + 4, and its width is represented by 3x + 1. the perimeter of the rectangle is 25 units. find the value of x.

Answer 1

Formula to find perimeter
2(l + w) = perimeter

Input the algebra to the formula, and you'll find x
2(2x + 4 + 3x + 1) = 25
2(5x + 5) = 25
10x + 10 = 25
10x = 15
x = 1.5
