A garden is in the shape of a rectangle and has a perimeter of 58 yards. The length of the garden is 5 more than twice the width. Find the dimensions of the garden.
p= sum of the sides = 2l+2w
opposite sides are the same
x=width
2x+5= length
2x+ 2(2x+5)=58
remove( )
2x+ 4x+10=58
combine like terms
6x+10= 58
subtract 10 from both sides
6x=48
divide by 6
x=8 width
2 x 8+5= 21 length
hope this helps
