Leo's garden, which is 6m wide, has the same area as jen's gardenwhich is 8m wide. find the lengths of the two rectangular gardens if leo's garden is 3m longer than jen's garden. First make a sketch.
;
I'll let you make the sketch:
Draw a rectangle for Jen's, label it 8 by x,
do the same for Leo's, label it 6 by (x+3)
:
J's area = 8x
L's area = 6(x+3)
;
Equal areas:
8x = 6(x+3)
:
8x = 6x + 18
:
8x - 6x = 18
:
2x = 18
:
x = 9
:
I'll let you take it from here, check the areas of each
