Question 184197
"The perimeter of a swimming pool is 96m" ----> P=2L+2W ----> 96=2L+2W



"The width is 3m more than half the length of the pool." ----> W=(1/2)L+3 ---->  2W=L+6


96=2L+2W


96=2L+(L+6)


96=3L+6


90=3L


L=30



W=(1/2)L+3


W=(1/2)(30)+3


W=15+3


W=18


Ans: width=18, length=30
