Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) "The length of a rectangle is three more than twice the width." This can be written in a math sentence as  

L = 2W + 3

 where "twice the width" is 2W and "three more" is just adding 3.

 2) "Perimeter is 36 inches". Recall the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle

 P = 2W + 2L

  set the formula to 36 and that gives us our second equation: 36 = 2W + L

then use substitution do solve
