Question

The length of a rectangular field is 24 meters this is 3 meters less than twice the width find the width

Answer 1

The width is 5 meters

Explanation:

The rectangular field is 24 meaning adding just one width and length of the rectangle would be 12.

x = width

2x - 3 + x = 12

3x - 3 = 12

3x - 3 + 3 = 12 + 3

3x = 15

x = 5
