You can put this solution on YOUR website!
For a rectangle:
+A+ = area
+L+ = length
+W+ = width
----------------------
(1) +A+=+L%2AW+
----------------------
given:
(2) +L+=+2W+%2B+3+
-----------------------
This is THREE MORE than twice the width
---------------------------------------
Your problem says " three TIMES " more than
twice the width " this is strange wording and
I don't think it is really what is meant.
----------------------------------------
I can substitute (2) into (1)
(1) +A+=+%28+2W+%2B+3+%29%2AW+
(1) +A+=+2W%5E2+%2B+3W+
