Question

The length of a rectangular garden is 3yd more than twice it’s width. The perimeter of the garden is 36yd. What are the width and length of the garden?

Answer 1

2L + 2W = 36
2(3+2W) + 2W = 36
6 + 4W + 2W = 36
6W + 6 = 36
-6 = -6
6W=30
W= 30/6 = 5 L= 3 + 2W = 3 +2 (5) = 3 +10= 13

Width is 5
Length is 13
