Garden has a length that is 3 more than twice the width the garden perimeter is 54 what are the length and the width of the garden

Question

Can i get help on this word problem.............

Answer 1

width= w

length=l=2w+3

 

perimeter =2(l+w)

         54  = 2(2w +3 +w)

         54 =2(3w+3)

         27 =3w+3

         24 =3w

          8 =w

width= w =8
length=l=2w+3=2(8)+3=19
