Respuesta :
in rectangles, opposite sides are equal.
lets name the length as x
as stated in the question, width is 7 less than the length
therefore length is --> x-7
perimeter = 2*(length) + 2(width)
substituting length and width
perimeter = 2x +2(x-7)
as the perimeter given is 50 inches
70 = 2x + 2x - 14
4x = 84
x = 21 inches
length of tablet - 21 inches
width of tablet - 14 inches

Answer:
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
