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
