Question 517745: Please help this is all one problem and I am struggling with it.
Write a function rule for the area of a rectangle with a length of 2 ft less than three times its width. What is the area of the rectangle when its width is 2 ft? Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Start with the formula for the area of a rectangle:
But the length, L, is given as: "...length is 2ft. less than three times its width." Substitute this into the area formula. Simplify. This is the function you need.
When the width is 2ft., then W = 2, so substitute.
So when the width is 2ft., the area is 8sq.ft.
