The length of a rectangular field is 24 meters. This is 3 meters less than twice the width. Find the width.
+23254 The length is 3 meters less than twice the width. Since the length is 24 meters, substituting:
24 meters = 3 meters less than twice the width.
To translate "3 meters less than twice the width" into algebra, write it as: 2w - 3
24 = 2w - 3 (where w stands for width)
27 = 2w
w = 13.5 meters.
