the length of a rectangle is 3 less than than twice its width the perimeter of the rectangle is 60 inches. find the dimensions of the rectangle
--------------
L = 2W -3
width = W
------------------
Perimeter = 2(L + W)
-----
60 = 2(2W-3+W)
30 = 3W-3
3W = 33
Width = 11 inches
-----
Length = 2*11 -3 = 22-3 = 19 inches
