Question
A garden has a rectangular pool in it with a width that is twice its length. If the land around the pool is 4 meters on all sides and the total area of the land is 136 m^2, what are the dimensions of the pool?

if the dimensions of the pool are w and 2w, then
(w+8)(2w+8) - w(2w) = 136
(w+8)(2w+8) - w(2w) = 136
