Question

the perimeter of a rectangular garden is 96m. The length of the garden is 8 more than the width. Find the length and width of the garden

Answer 1

width = 20

length = 28

Explanation:

perimeter=96

width=x

length=x+8

(length*2) + (width*2) = perimeter

2(x+8) + 2(x) = 96

2x+16+2x=96

4x+16=96

4x=80

x=20

width = 20

length = 28
