To find the area of a rectangular garden, we need to use the area formula of a rec. ;
A= l * w (area= length times width)
Find the value of length and width by;
Step.1 analyze the problem.
Let x be the width, if width is 3 times, we write it as, w= 3x.
Now the length is 2more than 3 times the width, then we write, l =3x + 2 ...
By the area formula A= l * w
We have,
A= (3x + 2) * 3x simplify.. By multplying
A= 9x^2 + 6X is the simplified expression for the area of a rec. garden
