Write an algebraic expression for:
thelengthofarectangularbuildingis6feetlessthan3timesthewidth.theperimeteris120feet.findthewidthandlengthofthebuildi
Define our algebraic expression:
A math expression containing any of the following items:
- Constants (A numeric value that does not change like 5)
- Variables (A letter used to represent a quantity like x)
- Operations (Add (+), Subtract (-), Multiply (*), Divide (÷), Exponent (^), Equation (=))
Thewidth.the perimeter is expressed using the variable
p. Our new expression is:
lengthofarectangularbuildingis6feetlessthan3timespis120feet.findthewidthandlengthofthebuildi
We replace
thewidth with the variable w
lengthofarectangularbuildingis6feetlessthan3timespis120feet.findwandlengthofthebuildi
We replace
feet with the variable f
lengthofarectangularbuildingis6flessthan3timespis120f.findwandlengthofthebuildi
We replace
length with the variable l
lofarectangularbuildingis6flessthan3timespis120f.findwandlofthebuildi
lessthan
Replace the phrase lessthan with -
lofarectangularbuildingis6f-3timespis120f.findw and lofthebuildi
is
Replace the phrase is with =
lofarectangularbuilding = 6f-3timesp = 120f.findw and lofthebuildi
Replace the phrase with =
lofarectangularbuilding = 6f-3timesp = 120f.findw and lofthebuildi
Final Answer
lofarectangularbuilding=6f-3timesp=120f.findwandlofthebuildi
