Question 350285: the length of a rectangular garden is 3 yards more than twice its width. the perimeter of the garden is 36 yards. what are the widths and the length of the garden? Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! L=2W+3
2L+2W=36
2(2W+3)+2W=36
4W+6+2W=36
6W=36-6
6W=30
W=30/6
W=5 YDS. FOR THE WIDTH.
L=2*5+3=10+3=13 YDS. FOR THE LENGTH.
PROOF:
2*13+2*5=36
26+10=36
36=36
