Question 998030: The perimeter of a rectangular field is 92ft. The length is 4 ft. More than twice the width. Find the length and the width

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Perimeter = 2L + 2W = 92 ft
L = 4 + 2W
Substitute that into the first equation and get
2(4 + 2W) + 2W = 92
8 + 4W + 2W = 92
6W + 8 = 92
6W = 84
W = 14 feet
L = 32 feet
