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

Answer 1

the answer would be, "The width is" all of the other information is neccesary!! You could not solve the problem without knowing what the the toal is and what the length is!! You need that info. So "the width is" is not important cuz if you were to take 24 and divide it by 3 * 2 you would have the width.
