PLEASE HELP!! I will mark the brainliest! The perimeter of a rectangle is 56 cm. The length of the rectangle is 2 cm more than the width. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
Length:
Width:

Rectangles! Nice.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a very simple problem. Let's first represent the width of the rectangle as the variable x.

Then, we know that the length of the triangle is x+2. See where I'm going with this?

The formula for the perimeter of an rectangle is .

All we have to do next is just input our values for the length and width, and you'll be golden!

Next to subtract 4 from both sides and then to divide by 4!

There's your answer! Don't know why is bugged right now.

NOTE: If you can't read the answer above, the width is 13cm. This also means that the length is 15cm.

Hope this helps!

Stay safe!

this was already solved by me with a different person. if you look it up in the search bar at the top of the page, you will get the answer.

step-by-step explanation:

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

2

x=5
