QuestionThe perimeter of a rectangle is 64 feet. Length is 7 feet less than 2 times the width. What are the dimensions of the rectangle?DonaganTop AnswererLet x = the width. Then the length is 2x - 7. The perimeter is twice the width plus twice the length: 64 = (2x) + 2(2x - 7) = (2x) + (4x - 14) = 6x - 14. So 64 = 6x - 14, and 78 = 6x. Then x = 13 ft, and the length is (2)(13) - 7 = 26 - 7 = 19 ft. To check: (2)(13) + (2)(19) = 26 + 38 = 64.
