The width of a rectangle is 3ft less than the length. The perimerter is 62ft. Find the length and the width of the rectangle.
width = x - 3
length = x
Perimeter = 62
62 = 2x + 2(x - 3)
62 = 2x + 2x - 6
62 = 4x - 6
62 + 6 = 4x
68 = 4x
68/4 = x
17 = x
The length is 17 feet.
The width is 3 less than 17 or 14 feet.
