\n" ); document.write( " If the length of the garden is to be twice the width, what will be the dimensions of the garden.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let w = the width of the garden
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "2w = the length
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The dimension of the fenced area.
\n" ); document.write( "(w+4) by (2w+4)
\n" ); document.write( "the perimeter
\n" ); document.write( "2(w+4) + 2(2w+4) = 67
\n" ); document.write( "2w + 8 + 4w + 8 = 67
\n" ); document.write( "6w + 16 = 67
\n" ); document.write( "6w = 67 - 16
\n" ); document.write( "6w = 51
\n" ); document.write( "w = 51/6
\n" ); document.write( "w = 8.5 ft is the width of the garden
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "2(8.5) = 17 ft is the length\r
