Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is $60m$ . The length of the rectangle is $6m$ longer than its width . If its width is represented as $x,$the equation can be represented as

• A. $2\times (x+x+6)=60$
• B. $2\times (x+6-x)=60$
• C. $2\times (6+x-x)=60$
• D. $2\times (x-x-6)=60$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$2\times (x+x+6)=60$

Formation of equation

Lets move forward with the given data,

Width $=xcm$

Length $=\left(x+6\right)cm$

Perimeter $=60cm$

$\Rightarrow 2\times$(Length $+$Breadth ) $=60$

$2\times \left(x+6+x\right)=60$

$\Rightarrow 2\times \left(x+x+6\right)=60$

Thus, $2\times \left(x+x+6\right)=60$ will be the required equation

Hence, option A is the correct option .
