Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of the rectangular flour = 2(Length+Width)
P = 2(L+W)... 1
If if the length is 2 less than three times the width, then L = 3W - 2.... 2
Substitute equation 2 into 1;
P =2(3W-2+W)
68 = 2(4W-2)
68 = 8W-4
8W = 68+4
8W = 72
W = 72/8
W = 9 feet
Since L = 3W-2
L = 3(9)-2
L = 27-2
L = 25
The length is 25ft and the width is 9ft
