Question

The length of a rectangle is 4ft less than 3 times width. Perimeter is 54 ft. What equation can be used to find the width of the rectangle

(3w-4)+2w=54
2(3w-4)+2w=54
w(3w-4)=54
2(4w-3)+2w=54

Answer 1

b

Explanation:

Here,

The length of a rectangle is 4ft less than 3 times the width

Then,

length=3w-4ft

Now,

2(l+w)=P
2(3w-4+w)=54

6w-8+2w=54

2(3w-4)+2w=54

Equation b can be used to find the width of the rectangle
