He needs an inner rectangular space in the center for plants that must be 1 meter from the border of the bed and that require 24 square meters for planting. What should the overall dimensions of the flowerbed be?\r

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I think if you were to walk around the flowerbed,
\n" ); document.write( "there would be \"+28+-+1+=+27+\" m
\n" ); document.write( "This tells me that:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2L+%2B+2W+=+27+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2L+=+27+-+2W+\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "From the other data I conclude that:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+L+-2+%29%2A%28+W+-+2+%29+=+24+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+L+-+2+=+24%2A%28+1%2F%28+W+-+2+%29%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by \"+2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2L+-+4+=+48%2A%28+1%2F%28+W-2+%29%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+27+-+2W+-+4+=+48%2A%28+1%2F%28W-2%29%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-2W+%2B+23+=+48%2A%28+1%2F%28W-2%29%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+-2W+%2B+23+%29%2A%28+W+-+2+%29+=+48+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-2W%5E2+%2B+23W+%2B+4W+-+46+=+48+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+-2W%5E2+%2B+27W+-+94+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Use quadratic formula
\n" ); document.write( "\"+W+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+W+=+%28-27+%2B-+sqrt%28+27%5E2-4%2A%28-2%29%2A%28-94%29+%29%29%2F%282%2A%28-2%29%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+W+=+%28-27+%2B-+sqrt%28+27%5E2-4%2A%28-2%29%2A%28-94%29+%29%29%2F%28-4%29%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "You can finish -find \"+W+\" then \"+L+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Check all my math, too\r
