Question

The length of a rectangular garden is 4 less than twice the width find the perimeter and area of the garden

Answer 1

Answer:

Let w be the width. Then the length is 2w-4. So:

w(2w-4)=96

2w²-4w-96=0

w²-2w-48=0

(w-8)(w+6)=0

w=8 or -6

Throwing out the negative value for w, we get a width of 8 yds, and a length of 12 yds. ☺☺☺☺
