Problema Solution
The area of the garden is 160m2. Suppose the length of the garden is 3m more than twice its width. What is the length of the garden?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'x' represent the width, x>0, then the length can be written as 3 + 2x.
Since the area is 160 m^2 we have:
length*width = area
(3 + 2x)*x = 160

x = 8.23 m
3 + 2*8.23 = 19.46 m
The length of the garden is 19.46 meters.
