The length of a rectangle is
2
meters less than
3
times the width. the perimeter is
36
meters. find the width.

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the width

3x-2 is the length

To find the perimeter is it is 2l plus 2w

2(3x-2) plus 2(x)

6x-4+2x

8x-4

36=8x-4

add to both sides

40=8x

divide both sides by 8

x=5

yes

step-by-step explanation:

$4034.40

the perimeter of the field is the sum of the lengths of the four sides:

47 yd + 158 yd + 47 yd + 158 yd = 410 yd

the cost of 3 ft (1 yd) of fence is 3×$3.28 = $9.84.

so the cost of jake's wood perimeter fance is

(410 yd) × ($9.84 /yd) = $4034.40
