Answer:
Length of the garden = 10 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a garden = 2(length + width)
Perimeter of the garden = 32 ft
Width of the garden = 6 ft
Length of the garden = x ft
Perimeter of a garden = 2(length + width)
32 = 2 ( x + 6 )
Open parenthesis
32 = 2x + 12
Subtract 12 from both sides
32 - 12 = 2x + 12 - 12
20 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2
20 / 2 = 2x / 2
10 = x
x = 10 ft
Therefore, length of the garden = x = 10 ft
