Question

The perimeter of a rectangle room is 250 feet the length is 35 feet less than three times the width what is the length of the room

Answer 1

Perimeter of rectangle:
P = 2(L + W)
P = 250 (given)
L = 3W - 35 (given)

250 = 2(3W -35 + W) ↔ 125 = 4W - 35

4W = 125 +35 =160 And W = 40 ft
And L = 3x40 - 35 = 85 ft
