The perimeter of a rectangle is 25 less than three times the sum of its dimensions. Find the rectangle's perimeter.
-------------
The sum of what dimensions?
If it's Length & Width:
P = 2W + 2L
Sum = W + L + ? Area?
------
2W + 2L + 25 = 3*(W + L) = 3W + 3L
W + L = 25
P = 50
------------------------
Not a well written problem.
