w and L for the regular field.
w and 2w+9 the dimensions of the new field.

2L+2w=270, the perimeter of the field (the NEW one?).
If this is the new field, then 2%282w%2B9%29%2B2w=270.
Ready to solve for this new width field.

2w%2B9%2Bw=135
3w%2B9=135
3w=126
highlight%28w=42%29 and L=2%2A42%2B9=highlight%2893%29 length of new field.
