How do I set up the equation(s) for the following word problem:
A rectangular lot whose perimeter is 360 feet is fenced along 3 sides, the 4th side is along a wall and doesn't need to be fenced. Expensive fencing along the length of the lot is $20 per foot. Inexpensvie fencing along the widths cost $8 per foot. The total for all 3 sides is $3280. What are the dimensions of the lot?
Thank you for your help. Whatever you can give is appreciated.
