P = 2w + 2l where w is the width, and l is the length. We know the length (l) is 3 inches longer than it's width (or l = w+3). Substitute w +3 into Perimeter equation. P = 2w + 2(w+3).

Hope this helps your welcome
Its not irrational............
Plug in 1 for x
f(1) = |1-3| + 7
|1-3| = |-2| = 2
f(1) = 2 + 7
Solution: f(1) = 9
