Hi,
     *[illustration rectangle.png].
Write as You Read:
P = 88yds
Let  W  = x
L = 3x-12
Substitute:
P = 2W + 2L = 88yds
2x + 2(3x-12) = 88
2x + 6x - 24 = 88
8x = 112
x = 14yd
W = 14yd  and L = {{{3*14-12}}} = 30yd
CHECKING our answer***
28yd + 60yd = 88yd  Checks.
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
