Question 109126: PLEASE HELP. I ALSO NEED TO REQUEST THAT THE TUTOR PLEASE NOT USE THE
QUADRATIC EQUATION METHOD BECAUSE I DO NOT UNDDERSTAND IT.
I AM STUDYING BEGINNER ALGEBRA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
THE LENGTH OF A RECTANGULAR GARDEN IS 6 FT LESS THAN 5 TIMES ITS WIDTH.
IF THE PERIMETER OF THE GARDEN IS 48 FT. FIND THE DEMENSIONS OF THE GARDEN.
THANKS AGAIN
JMS

You can put this solution on YOUR website! HI THERE,
YOU MUST LIKE SHOUTING. PERHAPS YOU ARE EXCITED TO DO MATHEMATICS (LIKE ME) !
The quadratic equation is not needed, and irrelevant in my method, for solving this problem.
Let w be width:
Width = w
Length = 5w - 6 <--(6 ft. less than 5 times the width)
Sum of all sides = Perimeter
5w - 6 + 5w - 6 + w + w = 48
SINCE YOU LIKE MATH SO MUCH, TRY THIS ONE OUT! GOOD LUCK! WRITE BACK IF YOU NEED MORE HELP.
