Describe how would you solve the following problem using an algebraic equation: The perimeter of the rectangle is 24 ft. If the length is three times as long as the width what is the length of the rectangle?

OpenStudy (ccswims):

Do they tell you what the width is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says if the width is three times long

OpenStudy (ccswims):

I thought the length was 3 times longer than the width?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea that

OpenStudy (ccswims):

W + 24 ft = 3L I think that's it but I'm not sure

OpenStudy (ccswims):

or no sorry, W - 24 ft = 3L
