The perimeter of a rectangle is 30 inches. its length is three times its width. write an equation to represent the problem

Eqn of the problem: 2(3x + x) = 30

Solution: Width = 3.75 inches  and Length= 11.25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

We are required to represent the equation of the problem;

The formula for getting the perimeter of a rectangle is;

Perimeter = 2 (l+w)

In this case;

2(3x + x) = 30

Therefore;

The equation for the problem is;

2(3x + x) = 30

8x=30

Thus;

8x = 30

  x = 3.75 inches

 3x = 11.25 inches

Hence, the with is 3.75 inches while the length is 11.25 inches
