The perimeter of a college athletic field is 96 meters and the length is 14m more thanthe width. find the width and length

set x = length, then x-14 would be width,

perimeter would be 2 (x) + 2 (x-14) = 96,

simplify this, u get 2x + 2x - 28 = 96,

you then get 4x = 124, now we know x = 31,

you would then be 31-14 which is 17.

so length is 31 m and width is 17 m
