Question 1061147
For a rectangle:
{{{ A }}} = area
{{{ L }}} = length
{{{ W }}} = width
----------------------
(1) {{{ A = L*W }}}
----------------------
given:
(2) {{{ L = 2W + 3 }}}
-----------------------
This is THREE MORE than twice the width
---------------------------------------
Your problem says " three TIMES " more than
twice the width " this is strange wording and
I don't think it is really what is meant.
----------------------------------------
I can substitute (2) into (1)
(1) {{{ A = ( 2W + 3 )*W }}}
(1) {{{ A = 2W^2 + 3W }}}
