The length of the rectangle is 5 times greater than the width, and the width is 28 meters less. What is the length?

Let the width of the rectangle be x (x) meters, then the length is (x • 5) m. Knowing that the width is 28 m shorter than the length, we will compose the equation:
x • 5 – x = 28;
x • 4 = 28;
x = 28: 4;
x = 7 (m) – the width of the rectangle;
x • 5 = 7 • 5 = 35 (m) – the length of the rectangle.
Answer: the length of the rectangle is 35 meters.
