Question

the perimeter of a rectangular garden is 84 feet. write and solve the system of equations that can be used to find the dimensions of the garden if its length, l, is 3 feet longer than its width, w.

Answer 1

Answer:

The length is 22.5 and the width is 19.5

Step-by-step explanation:

          2L + 2W = P

                     \/

          2L + 2W = 84

                     \/

W + 3 + W + 3 + W + W= 84

                     \/

          4W + 6 = 84

                     \/

                4W = 78

                     \/

     W = 19.5      L = 19.5 + 3 = 22.5

I hope this helps, have a nice day! :D
