<PRE><B>Question 669054</B>
The length of the garden is 10 feet more than 3 times the width. The job requires 60 feet of fencing to complete. Find the dimensions of the garden.
-------
width = w
length = 3w+10
-----
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
60 = 2(3w+10 + w)
30 = 4w + 10
4w = 20
w = 5 ft (width)
length = 3w+10 = 25 ft.
