The length of a rectangular garden is 2 feet longer than 3 times its width. If the perimeter of the garden is 100 feet, find the width and the length of the garden.
Choices:
A) 80 B) 90 C) 100 D) 70 E) 110
Let L and W be the length and width of the garden. The statement "the length of a rectangular garden is 2 feet longer than 3 times its width" may be formulated by   L = 2 + 3 W   The formula for the perimeter is given by   P = 2 L + 2 W   Substitute P and L in the above equation by 100 and 2 + 3 W respectively to obtain   100 = 2(2 + 3 W) + 2 W   Solve for W and L   W = 12 and L = 2 + 3 W = 38.   100heck that the perimeter of the rectangular garden is 100   P = 2 L + 2 W = 76 + 24=
