The length of a rectangle is 10 more than three times its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 108. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
-------------
Let the width be "x"
The length is 3x+10
--------------------
Perimeter = 2(width + length)
108 = 2(x + 3x+10)
54 = 4x+10
4x = 44
x = 11 (this is the width)
3x+10 = 43 (this is the length)
================
Cheers,
