Question

anonymous · Answer

2x+2y = 34.

let x be length and y be width.

then x = y+3

Use x = y+3 in ^ equation and solve accordingly. :)

So what's the length and the width in feet ? I don't get it !! Help please

anonymous · Answer

The thing is; 2x+2y = 34.

2(y+3) + 2y = 34. 

2y+6+2y = 34

4y = 28 or y = 7.

x = y+3 = 7+3 = 10.

Width = 7 ft., length = 10 ft.
