Answer:
The width of the rectangle is 18 inches, and the length is 50 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We can designate a variable, x, to represent the width of the rectangle. To represent the length and widths of the rectangle, we can say that the length is 3x-4 and the width is just x. We can then write an equation for the perimeter and solve:
2(3x-4) + 2x = 136
6x - 8 + 2x = 136
8x - 8 = 136
8x = 144
x = 18
To calculate the length
(3x - 4)
3(18) - 4 = 50 in
