Good evening student!
\n" ); document.write( "I hope this is helpful today.
\n" ); document.write( "To Solve this problem we need to know the general perimeter formula for a rectangle P=2L+2W or p=2(L+W) \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "From the information in the problem we can deduce that L=2W-3. We take this and plug it into the perimeter formula and get P=2(2W-3)+2W. Now we get rid of the parenthesis by using the distributive property and multiplying 2W-3 X 2.
\n" ); document.write( "This gives the following P=(2.2W-2.3)+2W. Multiplying this out gives 4W-6+2w. Next, combine like terms. P=6W-6.
\n" ); document.write( "p=6w-6 is the final answer.\r
