Question 169718
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?
