The length of a rectangle is 3 cm less than 4 times its width. The perimeter is 74 cm. Find the length

4 answers

P = 2L + 2W

74 = 2(4W - 3) + 2W

74 = 10W - 6

80 = 10W

8 = W
Thank you Ms. Sue
I get the same answer. The problem is that teacher offer this answers:
a. 29 cm
b. 28 cm
c. 27 cm
d. 33 cm
What did we do wrong?
The length is one of your choices of answers. You know the width is 8. Now find the length of one side.
