Question 800898: Sue is replacing the wood frame around the rectangular window in her kitchen. The width of her window is eight less than three times the height. The total amount of wood needed to go around the window frame is 272 inches. What is the width and height of the window?

let height be h
width = 3h-8
Perimeter = 2(L+W)
Perimeter = 2(h+3h-8)
2(4h-8)=272
/2
4h-8 = 136
4h=144
/4
h=36 inches
Plug h and you will get the width
