Write and solve an equation for the situations.

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 56 meters. The width of the parallelogram is 4 meters less than its length. Find the length and the width of the parallelogram.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Width = 12

Length = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = x

Length = x + 4

2x + 2(x+4) = 56

2x + 2x + 8 = 56

4x = 56 - 8

x = 48/4

x = 12
