The length of a rectangular park is 3 feet shorter than times its width. If the length is 123 feet, what is the width of the park in feet?

Width is 120ft but may be different if the "times the width" information is given. Follow the same process.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem, write an expression that relates length and width using the information given to you. "The length of a rectangular park is 3 feet shorter than times its width" means that l = 3 + w. Since no number is given for "times its width" we disregard this portion. If you have the information then you would include it here l = 3 + _w.

So using the expression l = 3 + w, substitute l = 123. Then the width will be:

l = 3 + w

123 = 3 + w

120 = w
