1) A rectangular carpet has a perimeter of 288 inches. The length of the carpet is 96 inches more than the width. What are the dimensions of the carpet?

The width is 24 inches and the length is 120 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the width of the carpet

The length can be represented by x + 96

Create an equation:

x + x + x + 96 + x + 96 = 288

Add like terms and solve for x:

4x + 192 = 288

4x = 96

x = 24

So, the width is 24 inches. Plug this into x + 96 to find the length:

x + 96

24 + 96

= 120

So, the width is 24 inches and the length is 120 inches.
