A rectangle with a perimeter of 102 inches is half as wide as it is long. Write and solve an equation to determine the length of this rectangle in inches.

Respuesta :

x=wide

102=2x+2*2x

Solve the equation: 
x=17
Therefore the long must be: 
2*x=2*17=34

This is right because: 
17+17+34+34=102

Hope that helped.
