Question 257361: A rectangular garden is surrounded by a path of uniform width 2 feet. If the length of the garden is twice the width, express the total area of the path and garden in term of the width of the garden.
l=2w i think
i dont know how to put that into expressing the total area. Answer by drk(1908) (Show Source):

Now we add 2 feet to each length and width, so we have
or - -> garden and path.
