The length of a rectangular garden is 6 feet less than 3 times its width. the area is 360 square feet. what is the length of the garden?

Width = w
Length = 3w - 6
Area = 360

Equation Area = wl
w (3w-6) = 360
3w^2- 6w = 360
3w^2 - 6w - 360 = 0
3 (w^2 - 2w - 120)=0
3(w + 10)(w - 12) = 0
w = -10 & 12
l = 3w-6 = 3 (-10)-6= -30 - 6= -36
l = 3w-6 = 3(12) - 6 = 36-6 = 30

-10 and 12. Yet, since this is a measurement, it must be positive so 12 ft

Physical changes affect the form of matter, volume or state, without altering its composition or nature. During fusion, a material that is in the solid state becomes liquid when the temperature increases. It is called the melting point at the temperature at which this change of state is generated. This example of melting a butter bar is the passage of a solid material into a liquid state. Not all the materials have the same melting point because each one has its own melting point.
