The width of a rectangle is 9 inches shorter than the length. If the perimeter is 26 inches. Find the width and length.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Length: 11

Width: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If length is x then width is x-9

That means:

    26 = x+x+x-9+x-9 = 4x-18  which means:

    44=4x    x=11

Length=x = 11

Width = x-9 = 11-9 = 2
