Question

the perimeter of a doubles tennis court is 76 yards. the length of the court is 2 yards more than twice its width. what is the length?

Answer 1

Solve for l using substitution:
2l+2w=76
l=2w+2

Answer 2

Let width be x. Thus length is 2x+2.

Perimeter = 76= 2(x) + 2 ( 2x+2)
76= 6x +4
6x= 72
x= 12

Length = 2x +2 (substitute x= 12)
length = 2(12) +2= 26 yards
