Amy has a garden in the shape of a rectangle.

given:
the length L is 2m more than twice its width W, which is
L=2W%2B2m
if she has at most 70m of fencing, means that perimeter P could be 70m or less
P=2%28L%2BW%29....replace L=2W%2B2m
70m%3E=2%282W%2B2m%2BW%29
70m%3E=2%283W%2B2m%29
70m%3E=6W%2B4m
70m-4m%3E=6W
66m%3E=6W
66m%2F6%3E=W
11m%3E=W.........or......W%3C=11m
so, the greatest width her garden can be W=11m
