Answer:

64 = 2(3x + x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the rectangle = 64 cm

Width of the rectangle = x

Length of the rectangle = 3x

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

The equation is

64 = 2(3x + x)

64 = 6x + 2x

64 = 8x

x = 64/8

x = 8 cm

Width of the rectangle = x = 8 cm

Length of the rectangle = 3x

= 3(8 cm)

= 24 cm
