The length of a rectangle is 5 centimeters longer than twice its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 88 centimeters, what is the width?

The length of a rectangle is 5 centimetres longer than twice its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 88 centimetres, what is the width?

width=x

length=2x+5

perimeter=88=2L+2W

so half perimeter=44=L+W

x+2x+5=44

3x=39

x=13 cm width ANSWER

2x+5=31 cm length

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.
