A garden is in the shape of a rectangle and has a primeter of 70 yards. The length of the garden is 5 more than twice the width find the dimensions of the yard?

Question

I need the dimension ans worked out so I can see this 

Answer 1

You need to make a drawing (rectangle). Label width w. Label length 5+2w.

PERIMETER (note spelling) is two times the sum of its four sides. Write that algebraically, and collect like terms, setting it equal to 70.  Solve for w. Then compute length.
