Question 564716: The length of a rectangle is 3ft less than twice the width of the rectangle. Tha perimeter is 174ft what is width and length Answer by ad_alta(240) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let 'l' be the length and 'w' the width. We know l+3=2w and 2w+2l=174. Substitute l=2w-3 into the second equation and get 2w+2(2w-3)=174. We get w=30 and l=57.
