Complete question :
Answer:
Width = 14 yards ; length = 25 yards
Explanation:
Given that :
The length of a rectangular garden is 3 yd less than twice its length. The perimeter of the garden is 78 yd. What are the width and length of the garden?
Width of garden (W) = w
Lenght of garden (L) = 2w - 3
Perimeter of a rectangle : 2 (L + W)
2(2w - 3 + w) = 78
2(3w - 3) = 78
6w - 6 = 78
6w = 78 + 6
6w = 84
w = 14 yards
Length = 2(14) - 3
Length = 28 - 3 = 25 yards
