Question 986874: a rectangular garden has a length that is eight less than three times the width. the garden perimeter is 48 meters. what is the dimensions of the garden? Answer by Timnewman(323) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi dear,
Let L be the lenght of the garden and w be the width.
From your question,
L=3w-8----(1)
2(L+w)=48
L+w=24---(2)
Put 1 in 2
3w-8+w=24
4w=24+8
4w=32
w=8
put w=8 in 1
L=3(8)-8
L=25-8
L=17
The lenght and width of the garden is 17 and 8 respectively.
HOPE THIS HELPS?
