document.write( "Question 511322: Hi I am having issues with coming up with a formula for my assignment. the question is: If the width of a rectangle is ten inches and the length is four less than three times the width, what is the perimeter? I tried \"P=3%2810-4%29\" but it just did not seem right. I also tried \"P=3%2810%29-4\" but that seemed too simple. If you could please let me know if either one is right. If not could you help me come up with a new formula? Thank you!!! \n" ); document.write( "
