## anonymous one year ago Help with two questions D: I dunt understand D:

1. anonymous

2. UnkleRhaukus

the length of nina's garden is 3ft longer than twice its width, can you turn this into an equation?

3. UnkleRhaukus

let the width be $$w$$ and the length $$\ell$$

4. anonymous

This is replacement sets I don't need an equation i just need to find out which number is the variable (as i learned in my class) that's all.. So is 8 right or no??

5. UnkleRhaukus

you need to express the length, in terms of the width, as described by the words in that sentence

6. anonymous

Well I wasn't told that part so now I'm kinda lost :/

7. UnkleRhaukus

the length of nina's garden is 3ft longer than twice its width, = $$\ell$$ is 3ft longer than twice $$w$$, =

8. anonymous

Okay but then what do I need this for then??

9. UnkleRhaukus

you have to work out the steps in the right order, that comes later

10. anonymous

I don't know why but I was told that you have to use the problem they gave you in the second part to find the answer. -.-

11. UnkleRhaukus

The first three sentences of the problem are there for a reason. And they are the First three sentences because you have to read them First, and understand them, Before you can go on to the Next paragraph. The next paragraph doesn't make any sense at all without the first three sentences in the first paragraph.

12. anonymous

Oh well okay

13. UnkleRhaukus

so, can you express the length, in terms of the width,

14. anonymous

okay so it's basically LxW

15. UnkleRhaukus

the fence is the length of the perimeter, (not the area of the garden)

16. anonymous

Oh okay then

17. UnkleRhaukus

plz tone

18. anonymous

19. anonymous

2 * 9 + 2 * (2 * 9 + 3)

20. anonymous

21. anonymous

Nevermind @UnkleRhaukus I actually had to use the problem they gave me in the second paragraph And yes I got the answer
