Question 1022568: A rectangular pool has a length 2m shorter than twice it's width
Write an expression to determine the pools perimeter. What is the perimeter?
Answer by addingup(3677) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2L+2W = perimeter, and the problem says that L = 2W-2 so let's use this value for L:
2(2W-2)+2W = perimeter
4W-4+2W = Perimeter
6W = perimeter-4
W = (perimeter-4)/6
