Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 194 inches. the length exceeds the width by 31 inches. find the L&W
Ms. Sue
P = 2L + 2W

194 = 2(W + 31) + 2W
194 = 2W + 62 + 2W
132 = 4W
33 = W

How do I get the length?
Ms. Sue
length exceeds the width by 31 inches
so 31+33=64 is that right?
Ms. Sue
Right!

L = 64
W = 33

Thank you
Ms. Sue
