The length of a rectangular billboard is 2 feet more than 3 times it's width. The perimeter of the billboard is 68 feet. Find the Length and Width of the billboard and the area
Let the width be x
the length will be 3x+2
Perimeter is 2L + 2W
2x+ 2(3x+2)= 68
2x+6x+4 =68
8x=68-4
8x= 64
x=8 which is the width
3x+2 = length
3*8+2= 26 which is the length
