Let w=width
L= length
3w+1=l
Perimeter -2(l+w)
2(W+3w+1)=42
Divide both sides by 2
W+3w+1=21
Subtract 1
W+3w=20
Add like terms
4w=20
Divide both sides by 4
W=5
The width is 5 inches

3w+1=l
Input the width into the equation
3(5)+1=l
15+1=l
16=l
The length of the rectangle is 16 inches

The rectangle is 5 x 16 inches

The width of a field is 3 miles less than the length. The square mileage of the plot is 18 miles squared. Find the dimensions.

LW = A
L(L - 3) = 18
L^2 - 3L - 18 = 0
(L - 6) (L + 3) = 0
L could be 6 or -3 ( -3 cannot be a length of a side of a rectangle since it’s negative.)
So L = 6 and W= 3

 2. Now, you must subtract her annual pay ($55,700) by the amount obtained ($6,684), as below:

 Pretax income= $55,700-$6,684
<span> Pretax income=$49,016
</span><span>
