Question 422565: The length of a rectangle is 1 inch less than 3 times the width. The perimeter is 38 in. What are the dimensions of the rectangle? Write the system of equations based on the given information. Answer by sudhanshu_kmr(1152) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let width =x , length = 3x -1
perimeter = 2(x+3x-1)
so, 2(x+3x-1) = 38
=> x = 5
length = 14
so, dimension is : 14 X 5 .
