The length of a rectangle is 2 more than 3 times the width. if the perimeter is 100, find the length and width of the rectangle.

if l = length and w = width, which of the following systems could be used to solve the problem?

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to express the problem in equations.

is gonna be length, is gonna be width and is the perimeter.

The length is 2 more than 3 times the width is

The perimeter is 100 refers to

Now, we know that the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed

Replacing the first expression in the second equation, we have:

Now, we replace this value in the first expression to find the length:

Therefore, the length is 38 units and the width is 12 units.
