Answer 1

Hey there!

Answer:

B. 3x + 4 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that:

Perimeter of a rectangle: P = 2l + 2w

Given:

P = 8x + 8

w = x.

Plug the given information into the equation:

8x + 8 = 2l + 2x

Subtract 2x from both sides:

6x + 8 = 2l

Divide both sides by 2:

(6x + 8)/2 = 2l/2

3x + 4 = l.

Therefore, the length of the garden is:

l = 3x + 4 ft.

Answer 2

That answer is b.) 3x +4
