Width = W Ft.
Length = (2W + 3)Ft
P = 2W + 2(2W+3) = 72
2W + 4W+6 = 72
6W = 72-6 = 66
W = 11 Ft.
Length = 2*11 + 3 = 25 Ft
The length of a pool is 3 feet more than twice its width. If the perimeter of the pool is 72 feet, find the dimensions of the pool by writing and solving a system of equations.
