The width of a rectangle is 12 feet less than the length. The perimeter of the rectangle is 184 feet (remember, the perimeter is 2L + 2W). What equation represents the perimeter?

Hello!

The answer to your question is: 6

Explanation:

L = 4w - 3

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

8w - 6 + 2w = 54

10w= 54 + 6

10w = 60

w = 60/10

w = 6
