Question 479493: the perimeter of a rectangle is 243 inches. if its length is three less than thrice its width, what is its length and width? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let width be x
length = 2x-3
Perimeter = 2(L+W)
243=2(x+2x-3)
243=6x-6
6x=249
x=41.5in the width
2x-3=> 2*41.5-3
Length = 80 in
