Answer 1

The are of the rectangular garden is 14 sq, ft.

The area of a rectangle is:

A = lw

where l= length; w = width (this is given as w as well)

If the length is 3 ft. longer than the width then:

l = w + 3

Substituting:

14 = (w + 3)w

w² + 3w - 14 = 0

But the +/- value must be positive, so:

Answer 2

14 = w(w + 3)

14 = w² + 3w

Can you solve for w and answer?
