The length of a rectangle is 3 feet less than twice the width of the rectangle. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 264 feet, find the width and the length

L = 2w - 3

p = 264

2 (L + w) = p

2 (2w - 3 + w) = 264

2 (3w - 3) = 264

6w - 6 = 264

6w = 270

w = 270/6

w = 90/2

w = 45

L = 2w - 3

L = 2 (45) - 3

L = 90 - 3

L = 87

The length is 87ft, and the width is 45ft
