Question 321612: The perimeter of a rectangular field is P feet. The width of the field is 200 feet less than its length. In terms of P, what is the length of the field in feet? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let length be x feet
width is x-200 feet
..
Perimeter = 2L +2W
P=2x+2(x-200)
P=2x+2x-400
P=4x-400
P+400=4x
P+400 /4 = x
