<PRE><B>Question 534065</B>
The perimeter of a rectangle is 28mm. The length of the rectangle is 4mm less than twice the width. Find the length of the rectangle.
I came up with this
Let width be &quot;w&quot;
The length is 2w-4
------------------------  
P = 2L+2W
28 = 2(2w-4)+ 2w
---
14 = 2w-4 + w
3w = 18
width = 6 mm
length = 2w-4 = 2*6-4 = 8 mm
=============================
