Ajumbo tablet in the shape of a rectangle has a perimeter of 50 inches. the tablet is 7 inches less wide than it is long. find the length and width of the tablet. plzz

Length = 16 inches and width = 9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle table = 50 inches

Rectangle table has equal sides of length and equal sides of width.

Let the length of the table be x.

It is given in the question that the table is 7 inches less wide than it is long.

So width of the table = x - 7

Perimeter = 2(length) + 2(width)

Perimeter = 2(x) + 2(x-7) = 50

                = 2x + (2)(x) + (2)(-7) = 50

                = 2x + 2x + (-14) = 50

                = 4x -14 = 50

                =  4x = 64

                 x = 16

Length = 16 inch Width = 16 - 7 = 9 inches

perimeter = 2(16) + 2(9) = 50 inches

true
