Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information

  • The width of a rectangle is eight yards less than twice the length.
  • The perimeter is 86 yards.

We have to find the length and the width of rectangle.

02

Step 2. Name 

Choose a variable to represent the length.

Let l = length.

The width is eight less than twice the length.

2l - 8 = width

Perimeter = P = 86 yards

03

Step 3. Translate.

Write the appropriate formula.

P=2l+2w

Substitute in the given information.

86=2l+2(2l-8)
