Calculus will seem easy if you have the right tutor!
You wrote: The lenght of a room is 10 feet less then triple its width. The perimeter of the room is 100 feet.
Corrected: The length of a room is 10 feet less than triple its width. The perimeter of the room is 100 feet.
Here's a QUESTION based on this given information: Find the width of the room.
P = 100 = 2(L+W)
50 = L + W
L = 3W-10
Substituting, 50 = 3W - 10 + W. YOU can finish the job, solving for W.
