Hi,

Lisa's living room is 21 feet wide.
If the length is 3 feet less than twice the width green%28x%29, length is %282x-3%29
garden's perimeter is 206 feet:
2%282x-3%29+%2B+2x+=+206ft
2x-3 + x = 103ft
3x = 106ft
x = 35 13 ft, the width and length is 7023ft
what is the area of her living room? A = %28106%2F3%29%28212%2F3%29ft^2
