the length of a a rectangular garden is two less than three times the width. Find the length if the perimeter of the garden is 36 feet.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter: 2(Length)+2(Width)
\n" ); document.write( "Length:3x-2
\n" ); document.write( "Width:x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2(3x-2)+2(x)=36 Distribute the 2
\n" ); document.write( "(2)(3x)-(2)(2)+2x=36
\n" ); document.write( "6x-4+2x=36 Simplify
\n" ); document.write( "8x-4=36 Add 4 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "8x-4(+4)=36(+4)
\n" ); document.write( "8x=40 Divide both sides by 8
\n" ); document.write( "x=5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Length: 3(5)-2=15-2=13
\n" ); document.write( "Width: 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
