16. Algebra I by James Wenk © 2003 published by TEACHINGpoint as part of the Expert Systems for Teachers Series 16 Use a variable equation to solve. 1) The length of a rectangle is 5 less than 3 times its width. If the perimeter is 30 ft., find its dimensions. Let x = width 3x - 5 = length x 3x - 5 2(x) + 2(3x - 5) = 30 2x + 6x - 10 = 30 +10 8x = 40 8 x = 5 = 5 = 10
