The length of a rectangle is 5 more than twice the width. the perimeter is 130 inches. what is te area

2L + 2W = 130

L = 2W+5

2 (2W+5) + 2W = 130

4W+10 + 2W = 130

6W + 10 = 130

6W = 120

W = 20

If the width is 20, then the length is twice that plus 5, or 45

L = 45 and W = 20

area = L*W or 900

The length of a rectangle:

L = 2 W + 5

The perimeter:

P = 2 L + 2 W

130 = 2 · (2 W + 5) + 2 W

130 = 4 W + 10 + 2 W

130 - 10 = 6 W

120 = 6 W

W = 120 : 6

W = 20 in

L = 2 · 20 + 5

L = 40 + 5

L = 45 in.

Finally the area:

A = L · W

A = 20 · 45

A = 900 in²
