The length of a rectangle is 5 less than 3 times the width. What is the length? Perimeter = 46 inches
Write an inequality or equation, then solve.

Let the width of the Rectangle be x inches

Then, length is (3x-5) inches

Perimeter of the Rectangle= 46 inches (given)

According to the above problem,

Equation : Perimeter=2(length+breadth)

2{(3x-5)+x}=46

2(4x-5)=46

(4x-5)=46/2=23

4x=(23+5)=28

x=28/4

x=7

So, length of the Rectangle is {(3×7)-5}=16 inches

and width is= 7 inches

answer: 4/6 =5/7.5

step-by-step explanation: it is based on scale and the scale between the two is 1.25. the answer is correct but i dont know if i explained it right
