The length of a rectangular sandbox is 6 feet less than 3 times the width. The perimeter of the sandbox is 36 feet.

Which statement is true

The length of a rectangular sandbox is

6 feet less than 3 times the width. The perimeter of the sandbox is 36 feet.

Which statement is true?

a) The equation (3w − 6) +w = 36

can be used to find the width of the rectangle, and the width is 6 feet.

b) The equation(3w −6) + w =36

can be used to find the width of the rectangle, and the width is 12 feet.

c) The equation 2(3w − 6) + 2w = 36

can be used to find the width of the rectangle, and the width is 6 feet.

d) The equation 2(3w − 6) +2w = 36

can be used to find the width of the rectangle, and the width is 12 feet.

Option c) is true

The equation 2(3w − 6) + 2w= 36

can be used to find the width of the rectangle, and the width is 6 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a rectangular sandbox is

6 feet less than 3 times the width. The perimeter of the sandbox is 36 feet.

L = 3 × W - 6

L = 3W - 6

The formula for perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + W)

= 2L + 2W

Hence, we substitute

P = 2L+ 2W

36 = 2(3W - 6) + 2W

36 = 6W -12 + 2W

Collect like terms

36 +12 = 6W + 2W

48 = 8W

W = 48/8

W = 6

The width is 6 feet

Which statement is true?

Option c) is true

The equation 2(3w − 6) + 2w= 36

can be used to find the width of the rectangle, and the width is 6 feet.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
