Step-by-step explanation:
The given is that John has 312ft of fencing. (Think of the 312ft as the perimeter)
The garden's legth is 6 ft more than 5 times it's width.
<em />
<em>Let </em><em>X </em><em>be the garden's width:</em>
<em />
This is what we know about the length:
It is 5 times + 6 more than the width
Now that we know this, lets set an equation to find the garden's dimentions.
X + (5X+6) = 312
(because we know Y = X * 5 + 6)
Now it's time to simplify:
Simplified X is equal to 51, so this is the length.
From the given the length is 5 times + 6 more than the width so the length is 5*51+6 which is 261
Answer:
The width is 51 and the length is 261. Hope this is correct and hope this helps. Brainliest would help :)
