You can put this solution on YOUR website! A rectangular plot has been fenced with 500ft of wire. Find the length and width of the plot if the length is 4 more than twice the width. Be sure to show both length and width along with units in your answer.
Perimeter formula for rectangle: P = 2(length) + 2(width)
Let length = 2x + 4
Let width = x
Let = 500
500 = 2(2x + 4) + 2(x)
Can you take it from here?
