Question 832610: A rectangular garden has a length that is 2 more than 3 times the width.
1.)Find a simplified expression for the area of this rectangular garden.
2.)Find a simplified expression for the perimeter of this garden.

The area is the length * width (A = L * W)
The perimeter is a fence around (P = 2L + 2W)
The question gives us the following information:
L = 3W + 2
.
Now that you have a value for L, plug it in to your equations:
A = (3W +2) * W
A = 3W^2 = 2W
.
P = 2(3W+2) + 2W
P = 6W + 4 + 2W
P = 8W + 4
.
You'll need more information to find the actual area and perimeter, but those equations will help you .
