The perimeter of a rectangle is 52 feet. The length is 2 more than twice the width. What is the length of the rectangle?

 The Length of the rectangle is 18 feet.

The width is 8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:  Perimeter is 2w + 2L

Length here is 2w + 2   Substitute this value for L in the equation.

P = 2w + 2L

52 = 2w + 2(2w + 2)  distribute and add

52 = 2w + 4w + 4

52 = 6w + 4    Subtract 4 from both sides, Then divide both sides by 6 to solve  for w

48 = 6w

8 = w  The width is 8 ft

Substitute into the original expression for Length

Length here is 2w + 2 :  2(8) + 2   16 + 2 = 18

The Length is 18 feet.

Check:   in the original equation P = 2w + 2L

52 = 2(8) + 2(18)

52 = 16 + 36  TRUE!

the distance from any point on the parabola to the focus is the exact same as the distance from that point to the directrix.

if you could provide answer choices that might allow me to answer the question easier if my above answer isn't an option! (:
