The length of a rectangular garden is 3yd more than twice its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 36yd. What are the width and the length?
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let w = width
\n" ); document.write( "from \"The length of a rectangular garden is 3yd more than twice its width.\" we get:
\n" ); document.write( "w+3 = length
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Since:
\n" ); document.write( "length+length+width+width = perimeter
\n" ); document.write( "2length+2width = perimeter
\n" ); document.write( "2(length+width) = perimeter
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "substituting in our variables and info:
\n" ); document.write( "2(length+width) = perimeter
\n" ); document.write( "2((w+3)+w) = 36
\n" ); document.write( "2(w+3+w) = 36
\n" ); document.write( "2(2w+3) = 36
\n" ); document.write( "2w+3 = 18
\n" ); document.write( "2w = 15
\n" ); document.write( "w = 7.5 yards (width)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "length:
\n" ); document.write( "w+3 = 7.5+3 = 10.5 yards (length)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
