The length of a rectangle is 6 inches more than three times the width. The perimeter is 92 inches. Find the length and width.
------
Let width be "x" inches:::
Then length is "x+3" inches:::
----------
P = 2(length + width)
92 = 2(x+3 + x)
46 = 2x+3
43 = 2x
x = 21.5 inches (width)
x+3 = 24.5 inches (length)
