the perimeter of a rectangular garder is 100 feet the length of the garden is 8 feet longer than twice the width
I need 2 linear equations
L = 2W + 8
2L + 2W = 100
To find the two linear equations, we need to use the given information and apply it to the formulas for perimeter and length.
Let's denote the width of the garden as "w" (in feet) and the length as "l" (in feet).
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding all four sides. For a rectangle, the formula for perimeter is:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)
From the given information, we know that the perimeter of the garden is 100 feet. So, we can write the first equation as:
2 * (l + w) = 100
Now, the length of the garden is stated to be 8 feet longer than twice the width. Mathematically, we can express this as:
l = 2w + 8
This gives us the second equation.
So, the two linear equations are:
1. 2 * (l + w) = 100
2. l = 2w + 8
