The length of a rectangular garden is
three feet less than twice
its width. If the perimeter
of the garden is 42 feet,
what is its length?
x = length
y = width
Equation 1: x = 2y + 3
Equation 2: look at your
notes about perimeter

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

4x - 6 + 6 = 4x - 6 + 6

4x = 4x

x = x
