The perimeter:

The length of the longer side:
twice as many cats (as) dogs.
c = 2d [not true]
Three less than twice as many cats (as) dogs.
c = 2d - 3
210 combined,
c + d = 210
Subtracting,
-d = 2d - 3 - 210
-3d = -213
d = 71
Answer: 71
Given:
1 set requires 4 couples 8 dancers.
Total number of people at a square dance = 250.
To find:
The greatest number of sets possible at the dance.
Solution:
We have,
Total people = 250
1 set = 8 people.



Number of possible sets cannot be a decimal or fraction value. So, approx. the value to the preceding integer.

Therefore, the number of possible sets at the dance is 31.
