Question 255286
Hello, 
Let's represent the width as x and the length as x+20. Now we can set up an equation like this:
x+x+(x+20)+(x+20)=200 combine like terms will give us:
4x+40=200 Subtract 40 from both sides will be:
4x=160 Divide both sides by 4 will result in:
x=40 inches for the width and the length is:
60 inches
Make sense?
