The total length of the fencing is 248 ft; we call this the "perimeter" of the garden. Since P = 2W + 2L in general, here:
P = 248 ft = 2W + 2(W+6), or 248 ft = 4W + 12.
Subtracting 12 from both sides of this equation: 236 ft = 4W. Then W = 59 ft, which means that L = 65 ft.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of adults = a
Number of children = c
Total people = 430
a + c = 430 --------------(I)
Total amount =$890
3a + c =890 -----------(II)
Multiply equation (I) by (-1)
(I)*(-1) -a - c = -430
(II) <u>3a + c = 890</u> {Now add and thus c will be eliminated}
2a = 460
a = 460/2
a= 230
Plug in the value of a in equation (I)
230 + c = 430
c = 430 - 230
c = 200
Number of adults = 230
Number of children = 200
