The perimeter of rectangle is 300 yards. What are the dimensions of the rectangle
if the length is 70 yards more than the width.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
L + W = 150 (1) ( 150 = !)
L - W = 70 (2)
Add equations (1) and (2). You will get
2L = 150 + 70 = 220 ---> L = = 110.
From this point find W on your own.
