The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 42 feet. The length of the garden is 5 feet more than twice the width. Find the length and width of the garden.

W=5.3, l = 15.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle p=2 (l+w)

P = 42

W = x

L = 5+2x therefore 42=2 (5+2x+x)

42=10+6x, 32=6x

Make x subject of formula

X=32/6 x=5.3 there for w=5.3

Where L = 5+2x; L=5+2 (5.3)

L therefore = 15.6
