The local zoning code for a rectangular billboard requires that the width is 4 feet less than the length. An advertiser wants a billboard to have an overall perimeter of 60 feet. What should the length of the billboard be?
=======================
width is 4 feet less than the length
W = L - 4
----
P = 2W + 2L = 60
---------------------------
W = L - 4
W + L = 30

Can you take it from there?
