The perimeter of a rectangle is 60 feet. the length is 2 feet more than 3 times the width. find the width of the rectangle

2w+2l=60 and l = 3w+2

All we need to do to find width is substitute the length in the perimeter formula with the length formula we have established.

2w+2 (3w+2) = 60

2w+6w+4=60

8w+4=60

8w=56

w=7

width is 7 feet
