Question

A group of students want to create a garden. They do not know the exact measurements but they propose using a variable to represent the length and width of the garden. The length of the garden is 10 feet longer than double the width. Use a single variable to write algebraic expressions for both the length and width of the garden. Draw a diagram of the garden, labeling the length and width.

Answer 1

width= x and length=y, klength is 10ft longer than double the width, so width would be x with the varible 2.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Answer: width=x2  and length= y+10
