Problema Solution

The perimeter of a rectangular is 210 and the length is 3 less than 3 times the width, find the dimensions

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'w' represent the width, then '3w-3' represents the length


perimeter = 2(length + width)

210 = 2(w + 3w-3)

210 = 8w - 6

x = 216 / 8

x = 27


3*27 - 3 = 78


the width is 27, the length is 78
