Question

A rectangular garden has a length that is five less than twice the width . The garden perimeter is 50 meters. What are the dimensions of the garden?

Answer 1

x : the lenght
y : the width
*x = 2y-5
*2(x+y) =50
x+y = 25
2y-5+y = 25
3y = 25+5 = 30
y = 30/3=10 meters
x = 25-y = 25-10 = 15 ( perimeter )
