The perimeter of a rectangle is 78 units. the length is 5 units more than 3 times the width. find the length and width of the rectangle.

W = 8.5 units; L = 30.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L and 2W, where L and W represent the length and the width respectively.  Here, L = 3W + 5.  Adapting the formula P = 2L and 2W, we get:

78 = 2L + 2W  =  2(3W + 5) + 2W, or

6W + 10 + 2W = 78, or

8W = 68, or W = 68/8 = 8.5 units

If W = 8.5 units, then L = 3(8.5 units) + 5 units = 30.5 units

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
