Question 321877: The length of a rectangle garden is 3yd more than twice its width. The perimeter of the garden is 36yd. What are the width and length of the garden? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let width be x
2x+3 = length
..
Perimeter = 2*L +2*W
=2x+2(2x+3)=36
2x+4x+6=36
6x=30
x=5 yards which is the width
..
Length = 2x+3
=2*5+3
=13 yards
