Question 824115
The length of a football field is 180 feet more than its width. If the perimeter of the field is 1060 feet, find the length of the field.
X = length
Y = width
x = y + 180
2x + 2y = 1060
x – y = 180
2x + 2y = 1060
2(y + 180) + 2y = 1060
2y + 360 + 2y = 1060
4y + 360 – 360 = 1060 – 360
4y = 700
 
Y = 175
           x = y + 180
           x = 175 + 180
           x = 355
