Arectangular yard has a length that is 5 feet more than the width. around the outside of the yard is a path made of bricks that is 3 feet wide. a) what expression can be used to represent the area of the path? b) if the area of the yard and the path is 546 sq. ft, find xc) what is the area of the yard? d) what is the area of the path?

Our system is  :   S + L = 19,  and  3S + 6L = 87

Let # of small rooms = S

# of Large rooms = L

10 Large rooms and 9 Small rooms

Step-by-step explanation:

Let # of small rooms = S

# of Large rooms = L

S + L = 19

3*S + 6*L = 87

Our system is  :   S + L = 19,  and  3S + 6L = 87

solve.

S = 19 - L

3*(19 - L) + 6L = 87

57 - 3L + 6L = 87

57 + 3L = 87

3L = 30

L = 10

S = 19 - 10 = 9
