Question

The width of a rectangular garden is 4.5 meters shorter than its length which is x meters.

The perimeter of the garden is 111m.
A.Write down a expression for the width of the garden in terms of x.
B.Write a equation for the perimeter of the garden in terms of x.

Answer 1

A. width = x - 4.5

B. 111 = 2(x + (x -4.5))

Explanation:

A. The width is 4.5 meters shorter than x, so is x -4.5.

__

B. The perimeter is twice the sum of length and width. It is 111 meters, so an equation for it could be ...

111 = 2(x + (x -4.5))
