3x - 12

Triple a number would be 3x instead of x cubed as it is not asking for a number multiplied by itself three times.

-12 is the second half as since you don’t know whether or not the variable will be larger or smaller than the constant, it is safer to put it on the other half.

Thus, this equation fills in the worded format.

Hope this helps!

dexar [7]
Recall that the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is: 2Length+2Width
With this in mind, we have that the original design is 96×60, where 90 is length and 60 is width, so it would simply be:
2(96+l) + 2 (60+w) = New Perimeter
Or simplified, it'd be:
2l + 2w + 312 = New Perimeter
