the distance around a standard tennis court is 228 feet.
\n" ); document.write( "2L + 2w = 228
\n" ); document.write( " if the length of the court is 6 feet more than twice the width,
\n" ); document.write( "L = 2w + 6
\n" ); document.write( " find the dimensions of the tennis court.
\n" ); document.write( "Replace L with (2w+6) in the first equation
\n" ); document.write( "2(2w+6) + 2w = 228
\n" ); document.write( "4w + 12 + 2w = 228
\n" ); document.write( "4w + 2w = 228 - 12
\n" ); document.write( "6w = 216
\n" ); document.write( "w = 216/6
\n" ); document.write( "w = 36 ft is the width
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find L
\n" ); document.write( "L = 2(36) + 6
\n" ); document.write( "L = 72 + 6
\n" ); document.write( "L = 78 ft is the length
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check; find the perimeter
\n" ); document.write( "2(78) + 2(36) = 228 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
