Hello.

The answer is: 24

length=3*width, this can be written as 3w

area=27 sq cm

Formula for the area of a rectangle=27 (area)= 3w (length) * w (width)

27=3w^2

then divide both sides by 3: 9=w^2

take the square root of both sides to get: w=3

Now that we know what the width is, we can substitute that and find the length: 3w= 3*3=24

have a nice day

defon

2 + d = 2 - 3(d- 5) - 2

First, cancel 2 on both sides. / Your problem should look like: $d = -3(d - 5) - 2$
Second, expand. / Your problem should look like: $d = -3d + 15 - 2$
Third, simplify -3d + 15 - 2 to get -3d + 13. / Your problem should look like: $d = -3d + 13$
Fourth, add 3d to both sides. / Your problem should look like: $d + 3d = 13$
Fifth, add d + 3d to get 4d. / Your problem should look like: $4d = 13$
Sixth, divide both sides by 4. / Your problem should look like: $d = \frac{13}{4}$

Answer as fraction: $d = \frac{13}{4}$
Answer as decimal: $d = 3.25$
