The length of a rectangle is 5 inches less than 3 times the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 14 inches. Find the length

and width of the rectangle.
I did this: Length 3x-5; width 3x Then I did guess and check and came up with X=2 solving the problem with a perimeter of 14. But, the answer is supposed to be length 4inches, width 3inches.
Please explain what I did wrong. I know the answer but not how to get it.

The length of the rectangle is 3 times the width translates to L=3W-5, where W is the width.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Option 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that Phalicia opens her savings account one year (12 months) before she goes to college.

With Option 1, she would have saved 300 + 50 * 11 = $850. We do 50 * 11 and not 50 * 12 because she deposits $50 for 11 months, not 12.

With Option 2, she would have saved 5 * 3¹¹ = $885735. Note that we do 3¹¹ and not 3¹² because 5 is being tripled 11 times.

Obviously, she should choose Option 2 because she saves A LOT more money.

Additionally, we can notice that Option 1 is an example of an arithmetic sequence whereas Option 2 is an example of a geometric sequence. Their explicit formulas would be aₙ = 50n + 250 and aₙ = 5 * 3⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾ respectively.
