Answer: the area of the garden is 493 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangular garden.

Let W represent the width of the rectangular garden.

The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

If he has 92 feet of fencing, it means that

2(L + W) = 92

Dividing through by 2, it becomes

L + W = 46 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

He wants the length of the garden to be five feet less than twice its width. This means that

L = 2W - 5

Substituting L = 2W - 5 into equation 1, it becomes

2W - 5 + W = 46

2W + W = 46 + 5

3W = 51

W = 51/3

W = 17 feet

L = 2W - 5 = 2 × 17 - 5

L = 29 feet

The area of the garden is

LW = 29 × 17 = 493 ft²
