Question

the length of a rectangle is 3 less than twice the width. The perimeter is 108 in. What is the length and width?

Answer 1

Answer:

19 in and 35 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be w and the length be 2w-3. Then,

$2(w+2w-3)=108 \\ \\ 3w-3=54 \\ \\ 3w=57 \\ \\ w=19 \\ \\ \implies 2w-3=35$
