The width is
inches.

The length is
inches.

Respuesta :

Answer:

lenght= 60 inches

width = 18 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

parameter = 2(L+B)

let lenght be x

width be y

so

x = 3y+6

let's put this in formula

156 = 2( x+y )

156 = 2( 3y+6 + y )

156 = 2 ( 4y + 6 )

156/2 = 4y + 6

78 = 4y + 6

4y = 78-6

4y = 72

y = 72/4

y = 18

so width is 18 inches

and lenght is 3*18+6 = 60 inches
