length is 14 feet less than triple the width. the perimeter is 264 feet what is the width of the rectangle

Question

14 feet less than triple the width of a rectangle 

Answer 1

p = 2w + 2l

l =3w-14

264 = 2w + 2(3w-14)

= 2w + 6w-28

=8w-28

292 = 8w

w = 36.5

l = 3(36.5) -14 = 95.5ft

 

The width is 36.5ft
