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
