Question

The length of a rectangle is 4 meters less than 3 times the width. The perimeter is 24 meters. Find the width

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: length of a rectangle is 4 meters less than 3 times the width so we can write L = 3W-4

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle: P = 2L+2W

Now plug the numbers: P = 2(3W-4)2W

24 = 6W - 8 +2W

24 = 8W - 8

32 = 8W

W = 4
