Problema Solution

Jarod is having a problem with rabbts getting into his garden, so he deciedes to fence it. The length of the gargen is 10 feet more than 3 times the width. He needs 60 feet of fencing to do the job. Find the length of the garden

Answer provided by our tutors

let the width be x

then length = 3x+10

perimeter = 2(x+3x +10) = 8x + 20

given perimeter = 60

hence 8x +20 = 60

8x = 40

x = 5

hence length = 5*3+10 = 25
