The perimeter of a rectangle is 73 inches. The perimeter equals twice the length of L inches, plus twice the width of 11 inches. Select the equation the most accurately depicts the word problem.

Respuesta :

In mathematical form. you can write it as:
73 = 2 ( l + 11)

We can solve it for length, 
73 = 2l + 22
2l = 73 - 22
l = 51/2
l = 25.5

Hope this helps!

Answer:

2(L + 11) = 73

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is 73 inches.

Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)

given Length = L

given width = 11 inches

So the equation to represent the word problem would be

2(L + 11) = 73

2L + 22 = 73

2L = 73 - 22

2L = 51

L = [tex]\frac{51}{2}[/tex]

L = 25.5

Length would be 25.5 inches
