    First you'd change the 68 yards to 194 feet. then you would make the equation (3x-2) + (3x-2) + x+x=204 because the length is 2 feet less than 3 times the width (x). when you combine like terms it is 8x-4=204. then you'd move the - 4 over to the 204 to make it 8x=208. x=26 feet. then you plug it back in time find the length is 76 feet.
