The length of a rectangular Garden is 40 yards longer then double the width The perimeter of the garden is 470 yards. find length and width of the Garden.

L=2W+40
2W+2(2W+40=80

Kinda stuck here.

1 answer

2W+2(2W+40) = 470
2W + 4W + 80 = 470
6W = 390
W= 65

Then L = 2(65) + 40 = 170

Your equation made no sense.
How did you plan to work in the 470 ?

Where did it say that the perimeter was 80, which is what your equation claimed.
