36*40+36*40-6*6=2844ft^2
we had to subtract the area of the closet so it wasn't counted twice :P
Your answer should be C sorry if i'm wrong, hope it helps tho
The garden's width is 45. We know this because

(length)

35x2 is 70 and you need to neutralize that by taking away 70 from both sides.


Now divide by 2 on both sides to neutralize the 2 times x.

meaning that leaves us with
A) 6x -5y = 5
B) 3x + 5y = 4
Adding the equations:
9x = 9
x = 1
A) 6*1 -5y = 5
A) 6 - 5 = 5y
A) 5y = 1
y = 1/5 = .2
