Question 411466
The pen's perimeter is 86. 
Twice the pen's width is one more than three times its length. 
Whats the width?
---
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
-----
Let length be "x":
Then width "3x+1":
------
Equation:
86 = 2(x + 3x+1)
43 = 4x+1
4x = 42
x = 10.5 (length)
3x+1 = 31.5=1 = 32.5 (width)
