The Length of a rectangle is five less than twice its width the perimeter is 26 m find the dimensions of the rectangle. WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT

Respuesta :

Answer:

l = 7 m

w = 6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

l = 2w - 5

p = 2xl + 2xw

p = 2 x (l + w)

26 = 2 x (2w - 5 + w)

26 : 2 = 3w - 5

13 = 3w - 5

13 + 5 = 3w

3w = 18

w = 18 : 3 = 6 m

l = 2w - 5 = 2 x 6 - 5 = 12 - 5 = 7

so the dimention of rectangle is 7 m in length and 6 m in width
