Thus the length = 230 and width = 90.

Step-by-step explanation:

Farmer Fernanda wants to put a fence around her rectangular field. The length of the field is 40 feet less  than 3 times the width.

She has 320 feet of fencing.

Let the length of the rectangular fence be x and the width of the fence be y.

Then the relation between them is

x = 3y - 40

Also x + y = 320

Solving these equations,

320 - y = 3y - 40

4y = 360

y = 90

x = 230

Thus the length = 230 and width = 90.
