Suppose that the width of a certain rectangle is 1 inch more than one-fourth of its length. The perimeter of the rectangle is 32 inches. Find the length and width of the rectangle.

Answer 1

If the length is x, the width is 1 + x/4

So, 2(x + 1 + x/4) = 32
Now just solve for x and get the width.

Answer 2

12

Answer 3

31.25
