the length of a rectangle is 2 less than 3 times the width . the perimeter is 60 inches . find the width A.8 inches B.22 inches C.15.5 inches D.20.7 inches
if the length is 3x the width -2 then you would count the width 8 times, 2 for the width and 3 for each length and -4, -2 for each length.This makes the equation 8w-4=60 if w is width. 8w-4=60 8w-4+4=60+4 8w=64 8w/8=64/8 w=8 Your answer is A: 8 inches
