Question

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 166 feet.The length of the garden is 3 feet more than four times the width. Which system of equations will determine the length ,l, and the width ,w, of the garden?

Answer 1

The answer to your question is 166 = 2l + 2w and l = 4w + 3

Explanation:

Data

Perimeter = 166 ft

length of the garden = 4 times the width + 3 feet

Process

1.- Write an equation to find length and width using the perimeter

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

-Substitution

166 = 2l + 2w Equation l

2.- Write an equation comparing the two sides of the rectangle

l = 4w + 3 Equation ll
