Question

PLEASE HELP HOMEWORK DUE TOMORROW
perimeter is 384 yards, length is 4 yards less than triple the width. what is the dimensions.

Answer 1

ok lets set the width as x yards

Answer 2

therefore the length will be 3x-4

Answer 3

solve the rest

Answer 4

i honestly have no skills in math could i have the answers please

Answer 5

Let
W=Width
L=length=3*W-4
Perimeter = 2(L+W)=2(3*W-4 + W) = 384
Solve for W (and then L)

Answer 6

Sorry @Schoolninja7 , we are not allowed to give answers only.
If you as you said have no skills in math, that exactly why you're here, and at school, to acquire the necessary skills for your future projects.

Answer 7

how do i find the wisth

Answer 8

See the perimeter line?
There is an equation involving only one single unknown, W.
You need to solve for W and then find the length L=3W-4.

Answer 9

im still stuck thanks for the help anyway.

Answer 10

You'd need to solve for W in
2(3*W-4 + W) = 384
First distribute the multiplier "2",
6W-8+2W=384
Then group variables to the left and numbers to the right of the equal sign, then solve for W.

Answer 11

98

Answer 12

290 L 98 W

Answer 13

98 sounds a little big for me.
How did you solve it?

Answer 14

solving multi step equation method

Answer 15

We have 6W-8+2W=384
so
8W=392
W=49
Can you find L?

Answer 16

143

Answer 17

Yes, L=143. (It's always good to say what the number represents).
ok, so you're done! L and W are the dimensions!

Answer 18

thanks a lot

Answer 19

You're welcome! :)
