perimeter of the garden is now twice the perimeter of the old garden.

Perimeter of new garden = 2(Perimeter of old garden

Expression for the perimeter of new garden is 12w + 16

where, w represent the width of the garden,

So, Perimter of new garden is twice the perimeter of the old garden.

12w + 16 = 2 (Perimeter of old garden)

Perimeter of Old garden = (12w + 16)/2

Perimeter of Old garden = 6w + 8
