A rectangular wall has length 3 less than 4 times the width . I wish to put a silver line along the corners of the wall. The lining costs 25 cents per foot and I spent a total of $18.50 for the lining on the corners of the wall. If painting costs 20 cents per square foot , how much dose it cost to paint the wall? PLEASE ANSWER correctly. I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST ANSWER TO U IF U DO

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width = w units

Length = 4w - 3

Cost for lining corners of wall = $ 18.50

Perimeter of the wall = 18.50/0.25 =  74 ft

2*(length  +width ) = 74

2*(4w - 3 + w) =74

2*(5w - 3) =74

10w - 6 = 74   {Add 6 to both sides}

10w - 6 + 6 = 74 + 6

10w = 80

Divide both sides by 10

10w/10 = 80/10

w =  8 ft

Length = 4w - 3 = 4*8 - 3 = 32 - 3

Length = 29 ft

Area of the wall = length * width

                           = 29 * 8

                           =  232 square ft

Cost of painting the wall per square feet = 20 cents = 0.20

Cost of painting 232 square feet = 232 * 0.20

                                                             = $ 46.40
