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.

a. the residual plot for model 1 has a random pattern and is a good fit for the data.
