Thank you!! 🖤

Answer 4

let L = length and W = width

The length of a rectangle is 5 more than 3 times its width. ---> L = 3W + 5

area = L*W. if you substitute L = 3W + 5, you get area = (3W+5)(W) = 182

solve for W. since all the widths in the answer choices are different, you can technically stop here, but to get the length, go back to L = 3W + 5 and plug in your W value.
