Hi,

Lisa&#39;s living room is 21 feet wide. 
If the length is 3 feet less than twice the width {{{green(x)}}}, length is {{{(2x-3)}}}
garden&#39;s perimeter is 206 feet:  
{{{2(2x-3) + 2x = 206ft}}}
  2x-3 + x = 103ft
    3x = 106ft
     x = 35 &lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;frasl;&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt; ft, the width and length is 70&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;frasl;&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;ft  
 what is the area of her living room? A = {{{(106/3)(212/3)}}}ft^2 </PRE>
