Answer:

The expression for length of fence in meters is: 6w+20 meters

Explanation:

Let l be the length and w be the width of the given garden

Then according to given statements


l = 2w+10 Eqn 1

As we have to find the length of fence to fully surround garden that means the perimeter has to be found.

The formula for perimeter is given by:


P = 2(length+width)

Putting the values


P = 2(2w+10+w)\\P = 2(3w+10)\\P = 6w+20

Hence,

The expression for length of fence in meters is: 6w+20 meters
