width= x and length= x/4 - 4
perimeter=length%2Bwidth
perimeter=+x+%2B+%28+%28x%2F4%29-4+%29

The length of a rectangle is 4 units shorter than one-fourth of its width x. Write an expression that represents
the perimeter of the rectangle using one variable and a fraction.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

width = x and length = x/4 - 4

perimeter = 2%2A%28length%2Bwidth%29

perimeter = 2x+%2B+2%2A%28%28x%2F4%29-4%29%29
