The length of the base of a rectangle is 6 less than 3 times the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 52 inches. What is the length of the base?

The rectangle has a width of 18 inches and a height length of 8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is described by the equation:

where l is width, h is height, and p is perimeter.

We're also told that the total perimeter is 52 inches.

We're also told that the length is six inches less than three times the width.  We can express that as .

We can plug that definition of w into the perimeter equation to find the length:

Now we can take that and the given perimeter, and substitute those into the perimeter equation to find the width:

So the width is 18

a function could be identified in 3 ways either on a chart,graph, or ordered pairs. first a function is that each point has its own. the rule is that there can be many x's to one y but there can not be 2 x's at different y's. so on a graph when you put a straight line through the y's there should be one dot only to be a function.
