Question

The length of the field is 3 yards less than triple the width. What are the dimensions of the playing field

Answer 1

45=w answer

Explanation:

Here's what we know:

P = 2L + 2w

L = 3w + 3 (length is 3 yards more than 3 times the length)

P = 366

We have a value for length and perimeter, so plug them in:

366 = 2(3w + 3) + 2w

366 = 6w + 6 + 2w

366 = 8w + 6

360 = 8w

45 = w
