Answer:
Width = 14 yards ; length = 25 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
The length of a rectangular garden is 3 yd less than twice its length. The perimeter of the garden is 78 yd. What are the width and length of the garden?
Width of garden (W) = w
Lenght of garden (L) = 2w - 3
Perimeter of a rectangle : 2 (L + W)
2(2w - 3 + w) = 78
2(3w - 3) = 78
6w - 6 = 78
6w = 78 + 6
6w = 84
w = 14 yards
Length = 2(14) - 3
Length = 28 - 3 = 25 yards
Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
2y + -1.7 = 3.3
Reorder the terms:
-1.7 + 2y = 3.3
Solving
-1.7 + 2y = 3.3
Solving for variable 'y'.
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '1.7' to each side of the equation.
-1.7 + 1.7 + 2y = 3.3 + 1.7
Combine like terms: -1.7 + 1.7 = 0.0
0.0 + 2y = 3.3 + 1.7
2y = 3.3 + 1.7
Combine like terms: 3.3 + 1.7 = 5
2y = 5
Divide each side by '2'.
y = 2.5
Simplifying
y = 2.5
