Brandon just bought a new coffee table. The length of the coffee table is 5 more than 3 times the width. If the perimeter of the coffee table top is 58 inches, what is the length and width of the coffee table?

The length is 23 inches and the width is 6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter for a rectangular shape is represented as:

P = 2L + 2W, where L represents length and W represents width

We can represent the length as:

L = 3W + 5

Substituting this into the perimeter function, we get:

P = 2 (3W + 5) + 2W

Substituting 58 for P, we get:

58 = 2 (3W + 5) + 2W

58 = 6W + 10 + 2W

58 = 8W + 10

58 - 10 = 8W + 10 - 10

48 = 8W

48 / 8 = 8W / 8

6 = W

With 6 being the established value for the width, we can substitute this back into the equation for length:

L = 3W + 5

L = 3(6) + 5

L = 18 + 5

L = 23

To check our work, we can substitute both the width and length into the perimeter equation:

P = 2L + 2W

58 = 2(23) + 2(6)

58 = 46 + 12

58 = 58

Therefore, length is 23 inches and the width is 6 inches.

x=117

Step-by-step explanation:

since there is 2 angles that they already give you the measurements with. you try to solve the 101 angle and subtract 180-101= 79. this is the angle beside 101. since a triangle is equal to 180 degrees; you add the 38 and 79 which equals 117. you subtract 180-117=63. That is the other angle on the inside of the triangle.
