This is really important 7th grade math: the perimeter is of a rectangle is 53 meters. the length is 2.3 meters longer than the width, w. write and solve an equation the find the width of the rectangle.

Rectangle perimeter is 53 meters.

L = W + 2.3

To find the options of a perimeter, divide by 4.

= 13.25

So if this was a square, it would be 13.25 for both L and W but it's not.

Since the W has 2.3 meters more then the L, we do this.

13.25 + 2.3 = 15.55

13.25 - 2.3 = 10.95

Two of your sides equal 15.55, and the other two equal 10.95.

Hope this helps!
