The perimeter of a rectangle is 34 centimeters. The length is two more than twice the width. Write and solve a system of linear equations to find the length and the width of the rectangle.

Respuesta :

2x+2y=34
x=2y+2

2(2y+2)+2y=34
4y+4+2y=34
6y+4=34
6y=30
y=5

x=2y+2
x=2(5)+2
x=12

The length is 12 cm, the width is 5 cm.
