Answer :

Let

Length of rectangle be "x"

Width of rectangle be "y"

Given, length is 3 more than twice width, we can write:

[tex]x=2y+3[/tex]

Also, given the perimeter is 102.

Recall, perimeter is sum of all the sides of a rectangle. Thus, we can write:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x+y+x+y=102 \\ 2x+2y=102 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Substituting, equation 1 into equation 2, we get:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2x+2y=102 \\ 2(2y+3)+2y=102 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Multiplying out and solving for y:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2(2y+3)+2y=102 \\ 4y+6+2y=102 \\ 6y=102-6 \\ 6y=96 \\ y=16 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, x is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=2y+3 \\ x=2(16)+3 \\ x=32+3 \\ x=35 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answer:

The length is 35 and width is 16
