The length of a rectangular field is 50 meters more than twice its width. If the perimeter is 700 meters, find the dimensions of the field.

1 answer

Let W = width

L = 2W +50

2L + 2W = 700

Substitute 2W + 50 for L in second equation and solve for W. Insert that value into the first equation and solve for L. Check by inserting both values into the second equation.
