document.write( "Question 926718: The question asks: the perimeter of the rectangular garden is 1260 feet. if the length is 3 times the width, find the length and width. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so first i tried dividing 1260 by 3 and had 420 after that i was thinking of dividing it by 3 for the width but then when i added them it didnt come up to 1260\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so then i tried cutting it in half n dividing that by 3 .... but yeah so then i googled how to solve the problem and so i found this place algebra.com yay \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "thats about it i guess thank you helping

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let \"+w+\" = the width
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3w+\" = the length
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+P+\" = the perimeter
\n" ); document.write( "\"+P+=+2w+%2B+2%2A%28+3w+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+P+=+2w+%2B+6w+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+P+=+8w+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+P+=+1260+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1260+=+8w+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+w+=+157.5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3w+=+472.5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "The garden is 157.5 x 472.5
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+P+=+2w+%2B+2%2A%28+3w+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+P+=+2%2A157.5+%2B+2%2A472.5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+P+=+315+%2B+945+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+P+=+1260+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
