Question

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 37.5 feet. The width is x, and the length is 15 ft. Use the equation 2(x + 15) = 37.5 to determine the width, in feet, of the garden?

Answer 1

11.25

Explanation:

first what u do is u just make 2(x+15)=37.5 into 2x+15=37.5

and then u do 2x=37.5-15

that will give u 2x=22.5

then u do this x=22.5/2

and x = to 11.25

Answer 2

2.5

Explanation:

37.5/15=2.5
