Question

Juniper wants to make a new rectangular garden in her backyard that has a length that is 2 more than twice the width. She needs to install a chicken wire fence to keep the rabbits out and away from her tomatoes. She bought a roll of chicken wire that is 64 ft long. Write an inequality to show how to find the possible dimensions of her new garden. (You do not need to solve it but be sure to define both your variables!)

Please help!!!

Answer 1

2x+2y ≤ 64

x=2y+2

Explanation:

x = length

y = width

the length is 2 more than twice the width or 2 more than twice y

x = 2+2y

the perimeter of the garden = 2 times the length + 2 times the width

she have 64ft of wire so the perimeter should be equal or less than 64 ft

64 ≥ 2x + 2y
