the length of a rectangle is 3 units shorter than one-third of the width, x. enter an expression in the box that represents the perimeter of the rectangle. note: use one variable and a fraction in the answer.
Width of the rectangle = x Length of the rectangle = (x/3) - 3 Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (Length + width) = 2[(x/3) - 3 + x] = 2[ (x - 9 + 3x)/3] = 2[(4x - 9)/3] = (8x - 18)/3 I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand and the answer has actually come to your desired help.
