Need help!!!
The perimeter of a basketball court is 84 meters and  the length is 6 meters longer than twice the width.. what are the length and width

anonymous · Answer

L=2W+6
P=2L+2W
84=2(2W+6)+2W
84=4W+12+2W
84=6W+12
6W=84-12

6W=72
W=72/6
W=12 ans. for the width.
L=2*12+6=24+6=30 ans. for the length.
Proof:
84=2*30+2*12
84=60+24
84=84
