Question 526202
wite the system of equations which represents the situation where the perimeter of a lot is 720 feet. the length is twice the width.


With W being the width, and L being the length, one equation is: L = 2W


The other equation is: 2L + 2W = 720 ------- L + W = 360


The system of equations is therefore: 


{{{highlight_green(L = 2W)}}}


{{{highlight_green(L + W = 360)}}}


You can then solve the system to determine the length and the width, if you so wish.
