Question 1001915: The width of a rectangle is 3 inches less than the length. The perimeter is 46 inches. Find the length and the width
I would just like the equation to get to the answer. I have a few of these questions Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let w be the width and l be the length
w = l - 3
the perimeter(P) = 2w + 2l
46 = 2(l-3) + 2l
46 = 2l-6 + 2l
4l = 52
**************************************
l = 13
w = 13 -3 = 10
