You can put this solution on YOUR website! Each side of a square garden is increased by three meters.
The perimeter of the new garden is 50 meters.
What was the length of the original square garden?
:
Let x = the side of the original garden
4(x+3) = 50
4x + 12 = 50
4x = 50 - 12
4x = 38
x = 38/4
x = 9.5 meters
