Question 744543
the length of a rectangular garden is 1m more than three times the garden's width.
L = 3W + 1
:
 if the perimeter of the garden is 34 find its dimensions.
2L + 2W = 34
simplify, divide by 2
L + W = 17
Replace L with (3W+1) from the 1st statement equation
(3w+1) + W = 17
4W = 17 - 1
4W = 16
W = 16/4
W = 4 m is the width
:
I'll let you find the Length, check these solutions in the perimeter formula.
