Question 460504: The area of a rectagular garden is 162 square meters. The width is 3 metesr longer than one-third of the length. Find the lenth and the width of the garden.
I know Area is L x W; I know W = 1/3 x + 3 ; L = x
(1/3x + 3)(x)= 162
1/3 x2 + 3 x = 162
x2 + 9 x - 486 = 0
(X+27)(X-18) = 0
x = -27 x = 18
1/3 (18) + 3 (18)
6 + 54 = 162 (not true)
Where am i messing up?

Question 463891: I just finished a math exam and theres one question that I just couldn't figure out. It went like this: "A rectangular field has an 800m long fence around the perimeter. The area of the field is 37500m^2. What are the diemensions of the field." I think im supposed to use Substitution so I wrote the formulas I know that relate to the question and I plugged in the information from the question into the equation so it was like this: "P(perimeter)=2*L(length)+2*width & A(area)=L*W. After this I dont know what to do. I can eliminate be the operations are different so the only option is to change an equation to isolate a variable to substitute it into the next equation but I don't know. No hurry gettin back to me the exams already done im just asking to ease my mind
