The length of a rectangle is 5 inches less than twice it’s width. if the rectangle has a perimeter of 80 inches, find the length and the width.

Length = 25 Inches,

 Breadth = 15 Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be X inches and breadth of the rectangle be Y Inches .

So, according to question,

X = 2Y - 5.

Now, Perimeter of rectangle will be 2(X + Y) Inches,

Which is given to be 80 Inches.

Thus, X + Y = 40

       2Y - 5 + Y = 40

       3Y = 45

        Y = 15 Inches

X = 2(15) - 5 = 25

   = 25 Inches.

So, Length = 25 Inches,

      Breadth = 15 Inches

answer: the answer is 5/22

step-by-step explanation: if you subtract 17 from 22 the answer is 5 therefore the remainder of students are female
