Answer 1

w = 30 feet

Step-by-step explanation

To solve

`150=2w+30+2w`

First we have to add like terms. We have two terms that contain w, so we have to add the coefficients:

`150=4w+30`

Then subtract 30 from both sides of the equation:

`\begin{gathered} 150-30=4w+30-30 \\ 120=4w \end{gathered}`

And finally divide both sides by 4:

`\begin{gathered} (120)/(4)=(4w)/(4) \\ 30=w \end{gathered}`

The width of the garden will be 30 feet.
