9ft

anonymous · Answer

2(6x+3)+2x=132
14x+6=132
x=126/14
x=9

anonymous · Answer

so w = the width. Since the length is 3 more than 6 times the width, you get length=6w+3. Just say length = l and you get l=6w+3. Now the perimeter is l+l+w+w or 2l+2w and equals 132 feet. Plug in 6w+3 for l and w for w and you get 2(6x+3)+2w=132

sorry 2(6w+3)+2w=132
12w+6+2w=132
14w=126
w=9
width is 9 
length is 57
