Call the width x.  Note that the length is 3x-6.  We know that double the width plus double the length is 120, so we write an equation:

2(x)+2(3x-6)=120
2x+6x-12=120
8x-12=120
8x=132
x=16.5
If x is 16.5, the width is 16.5, and the length is 3 \cdot 16.5 - 6 = 43.5.

The base of a triangle is represented by (2x − 6) and the height by (x − 2). Which polynomial expression BEST represents the are
BabaBlast [244]
Area of a triangle= \frac{1}{2} *base*height
A=\frac{1}{2} *(2x-6)*(x-2)
A=\frac{1}{2} ( 2x^{2} -4x-6x+12)
A=x^{2} -2x-3x+6
A=x^{2} -5x+6
