The length of a rectangle is 2 Inches less than three times its width, and its perimeter is 36 Inches. Find the width of the rectangle

Width = 5 inches

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of the perimeter.

A perimeter is a path that encompasses/surrounds/outlines a shape.

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (w + l)

w = width

l = length

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.

Solve:

w = w

l = 3w - 2

P = 36 inches

Given formula

P = 2 (w + l)

Substitute the value into the formula

36 = 2 (w + 3w - 2)

Simplify values in the parentheses

36 = 2 (4w -2)

Divide 2 on both sides

36 / 2 = 2 (4w - 2) / 2

18 = 4w - 2

Add 2 on both sides

18 + 2 = 4w - 2 + 2

20 = 4w

Divide 4 on both sides

20 / 4 = 4w / 4

w = 5

Hope this helps!! :)

all group life insurance is term insurance. actually it is annual renewable term and it is rated on the average age and claims experience of the entire group, which is called "experience rating." remember, this type of insurance has a 31-day grace period and is convertible to whole life upon leaving employment. a contributory group plan requires that both the employer and the employees pay part of the premium. at least 75% of those eligible must participate, so the group is sure to get most of the healthy employees as well as those that are sick.
