the width of a rectangle is 6 less than twice the length, if the perimeter is 18 meters.find the length
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = length
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "2x-6 = width
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2(x + 2x-6) = 18
\n" ); document.write( "(x + 2x-6) = 9
\n" ); document.write( "3x-6 = 9
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 15
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5 meters (length of rectangle)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
