The length, in inches, of a box is 3 inches less than twice its width, in inches. Which of the following gives the length, l inches, in terms of the width, w inches, of the box?

Individual Question

  1. l = w + 3

  2. l =  w + 3

  3. l =  w – 3

  4. l = 2w + 3

  5. l = 2w – 3

What is 

J. l = 2w – 3


Correct! You did the problem correctly. Twice a number means to multiply the number by 2, and 3 less than a number means to subtract 3 from the number. Combining these, you get l = 2w – 3.
