The length of a rectangle is 3 times less 5 the width. If the perimeter is 150 cm, what are the dimensions of the rectangle?

Answer 1

3 w - 5 = L
w + L = 75 so L = (75-w)

3 w - 5 = 75 - w
4 w = 80
w = 20
L = 75 - 20 = 55

Answer 2

2W+2L = 150
2W+2(3W-5) = 150
W = 20 cm.
L = 3W-5 = 60-5 = 55 cm.
