Help Me quick please!!!
Tracy needs to find the length and width of the equipment storage room where she works. The room she measures is 2 meters longer than it is wide. Its perimeter is 16 meters
Find the width in meters

Respuesta :

Let the width of room be =x mtrs

Then the length is x+2 mtrs

As Perimeter = 2(l+b) = 2(x+x+2)

16 = 2 ( 2x+2)

16/2 = 2x +2

8=2x+2

2x= 8-2 = 6

x = 6/2 =3 mtrs

Therefore width of the room is 3 mtrs

2(w)+ 2(w+2)=16

2w + 2w +4 =16

4w + 4 =16

4w = 12

w =3

width = 3 meters
