You have taken up gardening for relaxation and have decided to fence in your new rectangular shaped masterpiece. the length of the garden is 12 meters and 30 meters of fencing is required to completely enclose it. what is the width of the garden?

So you know your area (30) and know your one measurement( or 12)

30 - (12 x 2) = 8

since there's 2 sides divide 8 by 2

8/2 = 4

4 is your answer.

hope this helps.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this
