Question

If the length of a rectangle is 3 meters less than twice its width, what is an equation to find the length of the rectangle?

Answer 1

For this case we have to:

w: Represents the width of the rectangle

L: Represents the length of the rectangle

So, according to the statement we have:

The double width is represented as: $2w$

3 meters less than twice the width is represented as:$2w-3$

Then we have that the length of the rectangle is given by the following equation:

$L = 2w-3$

Answer:

The length of the rectangle is given by:

$L = 2w-3$
