The length of a rectangle is 3 more than 4timesthe width. If the length of the rectangle is 27 feet what is the width

To answer this question, you need to translate the description into a formula. The formula that can be made should be: length of rectangle = 3 + (4 * rectangle width). You already know the length, so you can find the width by inserting it to the formula. The calculation would be:

Length = 3 + 4*width

27ft = 3ft + 4*width

4*width = 27ft-3ft = 24ft

width = 6ft
