Variables

• L: length of the rectangular garden, in ft

,

• W: width of the rectangular garden, in ft

The perimeter of a rectangle is computed as follows:


P=2W+2L

The perimeter of the rectangular garden is 72 ft, then:


72=2W+2L\text{ (eq. 1)}

The width is 8 ft more than twice the length, then:


W=8+2L\text{ (eq. 2)}

Equations 1 and 2 compose the system of equations.
