Since you haven't identified this figure, I'm going to assume that it's a rectangle.
The Perimeter of a rectangle of length L and width W is P = 2L + 2W.
Here you are given the Perimeter and the length, and are to find the width, W.
Solving the above equation for W, we get P - 2L = 2W.
Dividing by 2 (to isolate that W), we get
P
-- - L = W
2
Substitute P= 6 yds and L = 6 feet (or 2 yds), find W (in yards).

Answer:
Raul's age is 15 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
r represents Raul's age.
The number of years from the start of the Great Depression to the first presidential election of Richard Nixon is six years less than three times Raul's age.
The first presidential election happened 39 years after the Great Depression and six years less than three times Raul's age is 3r - 6.
Therefore, 3r - 6 = 39
Add 6 to both sides.
3r = 45
Divide both sides by 3.
r = 15
Hence, Raul's age is 15 years.
