Question

Harry needs to build a fence around his garden, but first he must figure out the dimensions of his garden. The length of his rectangular garden is 6 more than the width, and the area of the garden is 27 m units. Determine the dimensions of Harry’s garden?

Answer 1

First, we know L and W are the same number. The in the end the Length is 6 more, therefore we add 6. The equations begins as so
2x+6=27
-6
2x=21
/2
x=10.5
+6
Therefore the Width =10.5 M
The Length = 16.5 M
