the piremiter of a reactangle is 12 meters. The length is 3 more than twice its width find the dimension of the reacrtangle.(This can also be solved just with one variable) ​

Answer:

length is 5 meters. width is 1 meter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 ( length + width )

Let x be our width

12 = 2 ( 3 + 2x ) + 2x

12 = 6 + 4x + 2x

12 - 6 = 4x + 2x

6 = 6x

x = 1

Therefore, the value of our length ( 3 + 2x ) is 5
