Question

An official tennis court is a rectangle whose length is 6 feet more than twice the width. The perimeter of the court is 228 feet. Find the dimensions of the court.

Perimeter for a rectangle is $\sf P=2l +2w$, P=erimeter, w=width, l=length

then the question says:
length is 6 feet more than twice the width
so l= 6+ 2w

P= 228 ft

substitute them in the formula
$\sf P=2l +2w\228=2(6+2w)+2w$
now your turn, can you solve for 'w'

Isn't one equation L=2(w+6)?

sorry, late response. i'm not getting my notifications :/

why  L=2(w+6)?
