Answer: Breadth = 11 ; Length = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the rectangle be 'x'
Length of the rectangle = x - 3
Perimeter of the rectangle = 38
Perimeter of rectangle formula = 2 ( length + breadth )
Substitute:
2 ( x + x-3 ) = 38
2 ( 2x - 3 ) = 38
2x - 3 = 19
2x = 19 + 3
2x = 22
x = 11
Therefore, the breadth = 11
Length = x-3 = 11 - 3 = 8
To check, find the perimeter:
2( 11 + 8)
= 2 ( 19 )
= 38.
We get the same perimeter so the answer is correct.
Answer:
length =8
Step-by-step explanation:
x= width
x-3(3 inches less than the width)
x+x-3+x+x-3=38
4x-6=33. add 6 on both sides
4x=44 divide by 4
x=11. plug 11 in for x because 11 is the width. in the equation x-3. (x=width) 11-3= 8. The length is 8.
-3x + 5x -2 > 8x - 7 -9x
