The perimeter of a rectangle is 24 feet. The length is 3 feet less than twice the width. The width is ?

1 answer:

4 0

Perimeter of a rectangle is twice the length plus twice the width or

2W + 2L = Perimeter
where W = width and L = length

Per the description the length = 2w - 3

2W + 2(2W - 3) = 24
2W + 4W - 6 = 24
6W - 6 = 24
6W = 30
W = 30 / 6
W = 5

So your width is 5 feet.

Plug in this result to the length equation:
2(5) - 3
10 - 3
7 = L

Your length is 7 feet.

Answer:

4(x^2 +10 +21)

4(x+3)(x+7) = 0

Smaller

4(x+7) = 0

4x +28 = 0

4x = -28

x = -28/4

x = -7

Larger

4(x+3) = 0

4x + 12 = 0

4x =-12

x = -12 / 4

x = -3
