Problema Solution
The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 98 feet. The length of the garden is 4 feet more than twice the width. What is the length
of the garden?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
l = the length of the garden
w = the width of the garden
The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 98 feet
2(l + w) = 98 divide both sides by 2
l + w = 49
w = 49 - l
The length of the garden is 4 feet more than twice the width
l = 4 + 2w
plug w = 49 - l into l = 4 + 2w
l = 4 + 2(49 - l)
by solving we find
l = 34 ft
