Question

The length of a rectangle is two less than three times a number x and the width is five more than that same number. WHAT IS THE EXPRESSION that represents the LENGTH of the rectangle

Answer 1

3x - 2

Explanation:

From the above question, we are told that:

The length of a rectangle is two less than three times a number x

Expressing this Mathematically:

3× x - 2

= 3x - 2

Also:

the width is five more than that same number.

Width = x + 5

Therefore, THE EXPRESSION that represents the LENGTH of the rectangle is 3x - 2
