1. The length of a rectangle is 3 more than twice it’s width. The perimeter is 48 feet
2. Fifteen more than four times a number is 6 more than five times the number. Use "n" for the number
3. Martha and Sally had lunch together on Tuesday. Sally paid $2 more than Martha. The total bill was $5.64
4. Bob paid less than Tim at a local pizza parlor. Together they spent $7.80
5. There were six more women on a committee than men. The committee was made up of 30 people
1. The length of a rectangle is 3 more than twice it’s width. The perimeter is 48 feet
I suppose you want to find the dimensions???......if so
2 ( L + W) = Perimeter and L = 2W + 3
So
2 [ 2W + 3 + W ] = 48 divide both sides by 2 and simplify
3W + 3 = 24 subtract 3 from both sides
3W = 21 divide both sides by 3
W = 7 and L = 2(7) + 3 = 17
P.S.....if you wanted the area......just multiply L x W
2. (Fifteen more than four times a number) is (6 more than five times the number.) Use "n" for the number
(A) = (B)
So....
(A) = (B)
4n + 15 = 5n + 6 subtract 4N, 6 from both sides
9 = n
3. Martha and Sally had lunch together on Tuesday. Sally paid $2 more than Martha. The total bill was $5.64
P = what Martha paid
P + 2 = what Sally paid
So
P + (P + 2) = 5.64
Can you take it from here ????

x = men on committee
x+6 = women on committee
x + x+6 = 30
2x = 24
x = men = 12 women = 18
