The length of a rectangle is 37, more than its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 172m, find the width of the rectangle.

Good morning ☕️

w=24.5

Step-by-step explanation:

w is the width

p is the perimeter

L is the length

So we get this equation p=2(L+w)

p=2(L+w)

172=2((w+37)+w)

⇔172=2(2w+37)

⇔172=4w+74

⇔172-74=4w

⇔98=4w

⇔w=98/4

⇔w=24.5.
