Chris Built a rectangular snow fort with a perimeter of 24 feet. The length of the fort was 8 feet less than 3 times the width. What was the length (x) and width (y) of the fort

Sagot :

We set up an equation for this.  P = 2L + 2W.24 = 2(3W-8) + 2W
24 = 6W + 2W -16
32 = 8W
W = 4.

L = 3W-8
L = 3 (4) -8
L = 12-8
L = 4
