Question

24 multiple choice 1 point two quantities are being compared in the following problem. the length of a rectangle is 8 m less than three times the width of the rectangle. if the width is $w$, write an algebraic expression for the length. 3w + 8 8w + 3 w - 24 3w - 8 8w - 3

Explanation:

Step1: Translate "three times the width"

Three times the width $W$ is $3W$.

Step2: Translate "8 m less than three - times the width"

8 m less than $3W$ means subtracting 8 from $3W$, so the expression is $3W - 8$.

Answer:

D. $3W - 8$
