Problema Solution
The length of a rectangular is 3 centimeters less than twice the width. The perimeter is 24. Find the dimensions of the label
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'w' represent the width, then '2w-3' represents the length
perimeter = 2(l+w), where 'l' and 'w' represent length and width, respectively
we assume that the perimeter is given in units of centimeters
24 = 2(w + 2w-3)
solving for 'w' we have w=5
2*5-3 = 7
the width is 5, the length is 7
