Problema Solution

The length of a rectangular garden is 3 feet less than twice the width. Ifbthe area is 35 square feet, what are the dimensions of the garden

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'w' represent the width, then '2w-3' represents the length


area = width *length


35 = w(2w-3)

solving for 'w' we have a positive value of w = 5


2*5-3 = 7


the length is 7feet, the width is 5feet
