The perimeter of a rectangle is 124 cm. the length is six more than three times the width. what are the dimensions of the rectangle?

Our first task in this problem is to set up variables that represent length and width.

Let's first identify our values:

X → Width

3x + 6 → Length

Before moving on, it's always a great idea to draw a picture of the rectangle to visualize what's going on. I will provide a picture.

Now, we can use the first sentence of the problem to set up our equation.

The perimeter of a rectangle is the distance around the outside of the figure. If our perimeter is 124 cm, we can set up an equation to represent this.

step-by-step explanation:

hopefully im right

y = 2x

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide each number in the sequence, you'll see that they all have a multiple factor of 2. each number in the series, and any other numbers which may continue, will be multiplied by 2. therefore, y is the next number in the sequence, and x is the current one, so, our formula will be y = 2x.
