"The length of a rectangle is 4 units less than 3 times the width. The perimeter is 22 units more than twice the width. Find the length and width of the rectangle."
i have already tried X=4+(3w)+(w+22) but I don't know if it is right, or has been formatted correctly.

Hi,

     .

2(3w-4) + 2w = 2w+22

6w - 8 + 2w = 2w + 22

6w = 30

w = 5 units and L = 11 units

checking...

32 = 10 + 22
