Problema Solution
Jarod is having a problem with rabbits getting into his vegetable garden, so he decides to fence it in. The length of the garden is 4 feet more that 6 times the width. He needs 78 feet of fencing to do the job.
Answer provided by our tutors
Let x = width of the garden
6x+4 = length of the garden
given this,
2W + 2L = P
2(x) + 2(6x+4) = 78
2x+12x + 8 = 86
14x= 70
x = 5
so x = 5, length 6x+4 => 6(5)+4 = 34 t
