Question 855659
<pre>
The length of a rectangle is 3 feet less than twice the width of the rectangle. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 444 feet, find the width and the length.

Let the width of rectangle be x
Length = 2*x - 3

Perimeter = 2*(Length + Width) = 2*(2*x - 3 + x) = 2*(3*x - 3)
= 6*x - 6 = 444 (given)
{{{6*x = 450}}}
{{{x = 75}}}
Length = 2*75 - 3 = 147

Width is {{{highlight(75)}}} ft and length is {{{highlight(147)}}} ft.

Hope you got it :)
