Question

Nancy has a rectangular garden with length, I, width, w, and a perimeter of 28 feet The length of the rectangle is 2 less than 3 times the width. Choose the system of equations that can be solved to find land w

Answer 1

Answer:Perimeter =2l +2w

28=2(3x-2) + 2x

Width =4feet

Length =10feet

Explanation:

Perimeter of rectangular garden =2(l+b)

Let the width be represented as X

And the length which is 3x-2

Such that the equation to solve for length and width be

Perimeter =2l +2w

28=2(3x-2) + 2x--- system of equation

Solving

28=2(3x-2) +2x

28=6x-4+2x

28=8x-4

28+4=8x

32=8x

X=32/8

X=4

Width =4

Length =3x-2=3x4-2=10
