Mary is incorrect. Perimeter is not proportional to area. An example which you can use is garden A is an 8 by 1 rectangle. The perimeter is 18 while the area is 8. Graden B is a 4 by 4 square. The perimeter is 16 (less than garden A) while the area is 16 (two times more than garden B).
(10x+5) + (6x-1)=180
10x+5+6x-1=180
16x+4=180
16x+4=180
16x=180-4
16x=178
x=11
